We do this on a very limited basis right now (and I have pending in my working
copy a slight extension thereof).
But doing it comprehensively under the approach I'm currently taking would
lead to big-time DRY violations.
`token::next()` should do one check of `curenv->get_was_line_interrupted()`
each time through (which will be false more often than not), and then issue
the warning if the next token isn't one of the handful that can validly occur
after `\c` on in input line.
