------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 We have a couple of bugs (one even in our documentation, ooops) where
 users put a \ at the end of a path on Windows, and our config parser takes
 this as being a line continuation (see #4798 and #4426 ). Maybe we can do
 better here, by warning the user that their backslash implies line
 continuation if they're on Windows and have that set for one of the config
 options that point to a directory?
