Why not?  _CRYTTAB_* is useful to copy a crypttab snippet to another
location, but as said before you don't need it to produce your own
parsing logic.  You can use another character than ‘\’ to start your
escape sequence, or double escape the ‘\’s.  And again you'll need
something like that to pass NUL bytes anyway.

I don't mind exporting these but it's incorrect to claim that not having
the verbatim strings are preventing massaging.
