The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/sql-syntax-lexical.html
Description:

Section 4.1.1 of the documentation claims that "Quoted identifiers can
contain any character, except the character with code zero." However
according to line 105 in src/test/isolation/specscanner.l in the PostgreSQL
source code, new line characters are also disallowed.
