It is indeed two issues with a proposal meant to address both.  (The
text of the proposed change is at

Most of the rewrite is motivated by the string issues.  These are the
sentences that address the outside-string issues:

	If a backslash is immediately followed by the end of the

        Outside strings, a backslash followed by a newline is a normal
        punctuation character.
