Julia v1.7.0, \ and newline

Internals & Design
1

Julia 1.7.0-beta2 allows \ to remove the newline as in

txt = "This is a long \
line"
println(txt)

to print as
This is a long line

Nice, but this does not work with the Windows standard \r\n. I guess this could easily lead to mix-ups when moving code across platforms.

Would you be willing to report that as an issue? It can then get tracked there as a release blocker (if appropriate).
