-       When using the deprecated <literal>e</literal> modifier, this function escapes
-       some characters (namely <literal>'</literal>, <literal>"</literal>,
-       <literal>\</literal> and NULL) in the strings that replace the
-       backreferences. This is done to ensure that no syntax errors arise
-       from backreference usage with either single or double quotes (e.g.
-       <literal>'strlen(\'$1\')+strlen("$2")'</literal>). Make sure you are
-       aware of PHP's <link linkend="language.types.string">string
-       syntax</link> to know exactly how the interpreted string will look.
