--- Comment #2 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
The warning is even emitted when the backslash isn't the last character before
the newline, so you can't add whitespace to your ascii art to shut the warning
up.

Clang doesn't warn when the next line is also a comment (as Zack requests) and
has a separate -Wbackslash-newline-escape warning for the case where there's
whitespace between the backslash and the newline. That seems much more useful.
