I know that there are people who already use '\\' (and '\\\')
on a line by itself to generate extra lines in output, as in:

     * A list item\\
     \\
     More of the list item\\
     \\
     Still more of the list item
     * Another list item

So I think that for compatibility reasons we'd have to say that
"\" continues its previous meaning, even if it's at the beginning
of a line.
