psql eating backslashes

Hi,

seems to me that psql thinks to know a little too much about
quoting. I'm not able to qoute a backslash at the end of a
line:

xxx=# select 'a\\b\\
xxx'# c';
?column?
----------
a\b
c
(1 row)

There is a newline following directly after b\\, so I
expected a "a\b\<NL>c" response - what the above obviously
isn't.
