Hello,

That's right, we need another way to escape classifier characters with

This works because in ISO C "b""=" is equivalent to "b=". We should do
this only with characters at the end, because it's not needed elsewhere
and the "" is annoying.
Not sure if this is relevant,
but while going over old bugs I noticed this:
Bug in 'ls -FQ': incorrectly quoted characters
http://bugs.gnu.org/29832
Which reports incorrect quoting of "@" as "\@"
and also mentions "ls -b", and had a pending patch which was
never committed.
