Indeed. We are already permissive about line endings in SQL text, so
this discussion really boils down only to whether we should reinterpret
data that's inside a string literal. There are good style reasons why
you should never put an unescaped newline into a string literal in the
first place ... and if you do, I don't think it's the database's job to
second-guess what you meant.
