Looks valid. Looking at the documentation just checking for a line
that begins with a \ is enough, but it doesn't hurt to do some extra

It varies, as the info page states: `The exact message may differ in
non-English locales'. Luckily we can force this by setting LANG to C.

I've fixed this in my sourcetree, I'll upload 1.4.1.11 soon.
