For as long as I can remember (back to Node 0.4), Node's behavior with
multi-line strings has been a little incorrect w.r.t. the ES5 standard:

'hello\
        world'

Should evaluate to 'hello        world', but evaluates in Node 0.6, 0.8,
and even the latest 0.9, to 'helloworld'.

I'd always assumed this was a V8 bug, but I thought to try it in Chrome
just now, and it works correctly in Chrome.

Strange! Anyone have any idea why this is?

Someone else also noticed this bug and filed a V8 report, but it was closed
-- presumably because it works correctly in Chrome:

Thanks guys,

Aseem
