Possible FAQs: single-quote and rename database

Hello:

I have two questions that might be FAQs (apologies in advance):

(1) Why does the parser choke on backslashed single-quote characters? Or,
in other words, why doesn't this work:

testing=> \d bubba
Table = bubba
+--------------------------+----------------------------------+-------+
| Field | Type | Length|
+--------------------------+----------------------------------+-------+
| litbub | varchar() | 60 |
+--------------------------+----------------------------------+-------+
testing=> insert '\'' into bubba;
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "'"

(2) How does one rename a database? Other than dump/destroydb/restore,
obviously.

TIA
