Of course, but in what case would single escape+newline mean something
else?  It isn't just for a statement continuation anyhow; I also had
in mind broken strings.

The command can't be unambiguously correct in its treatment of
whitespace, so I don't think it's worth complication for potential
pathological cases.  If it deletes an extra character, you just
re-type it.  I suppose you could even put in an undo boundary.
