 This is used for files whose first lines match `auto-mode-interpreter-regexp'.
 Each element looks like (REGEXP . MODE).
-If REGEXP matches the name (minus any directory part) of the interpreter
-specified in the first line of a script, enable major mode MODE.
-
-Emacs versions earlier than 24.4 treat the car of each element as a
-literal string that must match the entire name, rather than a regexp.
-For backwards compatibility, any REGEXP that does not begin with \"\\\\\"
-continues to be treated in this way.  This behavior may be removed in
-future and should not be relied upon.
+If \\\\`REGEXP\\\\' matches the name (minus any directory part) of
+the interpreter specified in the first line of a script, enable
+major mode MODE.
