No solution of these are 100% backward compatible. The question is which
solution that might not be in use:

1. Is someone posting the string "\@bla"?
2. Does someone have a file that starts with the character "@" (my cookiefiles
contains this letter and is therefor possible).
3. Is someone posting quote marks?

For backward-compatibility I think about a new flag like this:

    curl --form-string name=@string http://somewhere.org
    curl --form-file name=filename http://somewhere.org

Any thoughts?
