Where would you want to use a backslash?  AFAIK there are no
parameters in exports(5) where a backslash would be valid.  If you're
talking about using it in the middle of a word and at the end of the
line, like this:

	/usr -alldirs -netw\
	ork=fish host1 host2

then this commit puts you out of luck.  However, I honestly don't see
why somebody would want to do that.  The new sematic is much more
intuitive and in line with most (every?) other file format that
supports continuation lines.  I think it's what most people would
expect when they use a backslash at the end of a line.
