This didn't correct the point I complained of above: it still says

Client applications still support <literal>escape_string_warning = off</literal> for compatibility with old servers.

The notion of a client "supporting" escape_string_warning seems quite
meaningless.  I think this intended to say standard_conforming_strings =
off.
