Yes, it is pretty strange.
The backslash command are outside of SQL and finished on the line. You can
use them anywhere:
psql> SELECT \set x 2 1 \set y 3 ; # 1 psql> \echo :x :y # 2 3
Basically SQL & backslash commands are unrelated. The SQL is sent to the
server, the backslash is executed on the client...
