WeiDU bug: returning '\' in REPLACE_EVALUATE doesn't work

BACKUP ~test/backup~
AUTHOR ~polymorphedsquirrel~
VERSION ~TEST~

BEGIN ~Test case~
        OUTER_PATCH_SAVE res ~xxxxxx~ BEGIN
                REPLACE_EVALUATE ~x~ BEGIN  END ~\\~
        END
        PRINT ~%res%~

Prints:

\x\x\x

Should print:

\\\\\\

	REPLACE_EVALUATE ~x~ BEGIN END ~\~

should print:

\\\\\\

The latter currently results in an error 'illegal '\' sequence'.

My guess is that when calculating the index from which the next occurence of ~x~ is searched after a replacement,
the length of raw ~\\~ is taken (2) while the actual replacemet is obviously 1 of unascaped ~\~.

Can I report it somewhere?
