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.
