#1638: Backslashes explain

[A list of the names of different numbers of backslashes. After each “item” there is a gray line to the text describing each item. As the text is aligned above each other, the lines becomes shorter as the sequence of backslashes becomes longer until there is just a line with the length of a single hyphen for the last item. There are 1 to 8 backslashes and then 11 plus “…” in the last entry.]
