--- Comment #1 from Frank Ch. Eigler <fche at redhat dot com> ---
No, multi-line strings are not intended to be allowed.
(Consecutive string literals are automatically concatenated,
so one can say

    foo("bar\n" 
        "baz")

See also bug #13371, for a possible reason for the \ case.
The gist is that we don't properly parse the \FOO escape
sequences - we just kid of preserve them for printing again
into the C code.  (That already breaks things like a 
hypothetical compile-time strlen("\n") == 2.)
