I don't see much virtue of having these characters when there is only

So you can tell a newline in the data from a wrap due to line length.
The need to be able to do that is not dependent on how many columns
there are.
If that's really what we want then I think we're doing a terrible job of
it. Have a look at the output of:
select
E'xxxxxxx\nxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\nxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
as a, 1 as b;
How do we know from that where the linefeeds are, exactly?
