Gahh!
You are totally right.

The reason for this is PHP syntax highlighting.. PHP versions prior to
PHP5.3.0 do not understand the syntax and silently ignore "weird
syntax".

We'll need to update the PHP version generating the manual.

Description:
------------
It appears that backslash characters are being sporadically suppressed

on documentation pages. This is especially noticeable in the 
documentation about namespaces; I was highly confused by much of the 
language until I realized some very important characters were missing 
from the code examples and descriptions!

For an illustration of the problem, see:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.faq.php

Examples 1 and 2 are supposed to illustrate two different syntaxes, but

because of this problem are identical.

Nearly every page of the namespace section of the manual has an example

of the issue.
