formatlistpat escape \

Best viewed with a monospaced font.

'formatlistpat' 'flp' string (default: "^\s*\d\+[\]:.)}\t ]\s*")

to get this:
^\s*\(\d\|\a\)\+\.\s*

must do this:
^\\s*\\(\\d\\\|\\a\\)\\+\\.\\s*

Why?
Is there a way to enter the string without escaping the "\" ?

With :set tw=64 it works great as follows:
