      test = a\\
test2 = b

message($$test) # a\ test2 = b


WARNING: test.pro:1: Unescaped backslashes are deprecated.

      The backslash next to the last is considered unescaped (though it does appear in the variable), and the last backslash is handled as an escaped newline...

      Expected behavior:

      test = a\\
test2 = b

message($$test) # a\
