Not yet, but we have a TODO item:

        * Allow backslash handling in quoted strings to be disabled for
          portability
        
          The use of C-style backslashes (.e.g. \n, \r) in quoted strings is not
          SQL-spec compliant, so allow such handling to be disabled.

Uh, what is ANSI/ISO escaping actually?  I assume you mean only
supporting '' for literal quotes rather than \' too.
