Attached is a version which does that (I think), and a test script.
 - backslash-commands can be \-continuated - sql-commands may include $$-quotes and must end with a ';' - double-dash
commentsand blank line are skipped.
 

Obviously it is still a non-lexer hack which can be easily defeated, but 
ISTM that it handles non-contrived cases well. Anyway ISTM that dollar 
quoting cannot be handle as such and simply by a lexer, it is really an 
exception mechanism.
