The sequence '\', <RETURN>, (any string not containing a newline), CTRL-C
has the same effect as hitting <RETURN>.
Why is this a bug?
If I type ^C at the shell prompt after typing any portion of a
command, then it aborts the current command, erases it, and reprompts
-- "just like hitting <RETURN>." That's what it's supposed to do.
Why should it be any different if I type '\' <RETURN> as the first
part of the command?
