In a test I just did, the sequence \" (backslash double-quote) is
interpreted as just a " inside of the E'...' string constant
expression. This is great, since PHP's addslashes() sticks them in
along with the other stuff I really need to quote like ' and \. But I
see that \" isn't documented in the manual in section 4.1.2.1. I
assume this is, in fact, standard behavior for Postgres? (Perhaps a
comprehensive table might be a good idea at this point in the manual.)

Thanks,

-- Andy
