Hi

In service and host macros, certain characters must be escaped because they are suppressed or stripped when used in commands. 

Typically, exclamation marks require a backslash when used in passwords.

However, when performing auto-discovery, you need to remove the backslash for it to work.

Would it be possible to standardize things so that there is no need to escape certain special characters in macros or arguments?
