Sorry about the wait. OK, but with a small change in the comment
to say that the ctrl-v character is not only unnecessary on MinGW
but actually harmful for the test because that character isn't
recognized as an escape character.
It'd be nice to know when @ is actually an escape character (just
thinking out loud, not asking you to do the research - a google
research doesn't quite clarify this for me).
