Thanks,

Not sure if it was clear, but the regexp in my actual patch is more strict
than in my first email: ^[`'\"/() ][x*. ][1-9!. ]\\.\\.\\.>

Unfortunately I've found no documentation listing the continuation prompts
– I derived this list by inspecting the sqlite source code. For example:
https://github.com/sqlite/sqlite/blob/e98238561911f85e54af3e6f26e47c2de8d1cda1/src/shell.c.in#L583-L611
