IMO in the spirit of keeping things simple, it's enough to tell people
to ^C their way out (and why); anything more complicated than that, such
as closing any open quotes, is not catering for the newbie community
that this feature is supposed to help. As Robert said, if you're trying
to exit the terminal, you don't care too much about any string literals
you have open.
