OK, I coded to convert newline to "\n", carriage return to "\r", and
backslash to "\\". This might cause confusion if you are doing:
INSERT INTO tab VALUES ('\b');
which outputs as:
INSERT INTO tab VALUES ('\\b');
but I see your point that we should be accurate. Actual output is:
LOG: duration: 1.762 ms; insert into ii values ('\\b');
Another example:
LOG: duration: 4.228 ms; select *\nfrom pg_language;
