What is your definition of "properly"? Please give an example of what went
wrong.

The included patch to the test suite is an example - specifically if an
element of the configuration key name other than the first or last
contains a backslash, it would not be escaped on output, but would be
treated as an escape sequence on input. Thus the backslash would be
lost.
