Well, it's not yet another.  The reason for this patch is because there
is NO SUCH METHOD in the option parser.  The subopt helper has the %len%
method, but that does not help.  If I am mistaken, please correct me.

And I would, from a Unix point of view, naturally expect MPlayer to
allow escaping using a backslash.  So where should I document this?

Do you have a preference between the two patches?
