Describe the bug
Read string option with backslash \ and " results in reading " in the string.

To Reproduce

public class Options
{
    [Option('P', "path", Required = true, HelpText = "Set working directory path.")]
    public string Path { get; set; }
}

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    string path = "";

    var result = Parser.Default.ParseArguments<Options>(args)
           .WithParsed(o =>
           {
               path = o.Path;
           });

    if (result.Tag == ParserResultType.Parsed)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Path: {path}");
    }
}
  1. Passing in argument -P "C:\path\to\read\"
  2. Console output is Path: C:\path\to\read"

Expected behavior
Read backslash as it is. In the above example, output should be Path: C:\path\to\read\

Additional context
Am i missing some options?
Ref issues/226 reports the same problem, still not fixed?
