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.
