Bug reference:      6624
Logged by:          Stuart Bishop

Description:=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20

psql tab completion can emit WARNING messages if escape_string_warning is
set to true. The trigger seems to be an identifier containing a single
backslash.

# CREATE SEQUENCE "\foo";
CREATE SEQUENCE
# \ds "\

(at this point, hit <TAB> to trigger completion)

# drop sequence "\WARNING:  nonstandard use of \\ in a string literal
