Yes.  Some quotes from http://digitalmars.com/d/lex.html :

"A string literal is either a double quoted string, a wysiwyg quoted string, an
escape 
sequence, or a hex string."

"Adjacent escape strings are concatenated"

"Adjacent strings are concatenated with the ~ operator, or by simple
juxtaposition"

So that code is supposed to be exactly the same as:
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
writef("\\\n"c);
}

Damn, this looks so unnatural. Is there any reason for escape sequences 
do be allowed out of quoted literals?
