I don't think it's possible to avoid two increments. When a backslash
is detected we want to move past it and the following character.
Consider:
strchr_backslash("\\/abc/def", '/');
The original code and Denys' rewrite return a pointer to "/def"; your
suggestion returns a pointer to "/abc/def".

Hmm, yes, that's rather an odd thing for the compiler to do.
