Is that an honest question, meaning that you _really_ don't know why
typing literally 2 characters `\' and `n' at the Emacs prompt doesn't
produce a newline, while the string "\n" does? Or do you know that,
but are suggesting that the former is a misfeature?
I'm sorry, but with all the fancy talk in this thread, one can no
longer no who sincerely wants to know and who is merely being
facetious.
