I don’t know the full context, but a backslash at the end of a line
could be a backslash-escaped backslash:

    echo \\
    # that was a command to output a single backslash

and the whole heuristic if you’re not doing a full parser would
probably be “a backslash at the end of a line that is preceded by an
even number (incl. 0) of backslashes is an escaped newline”.

    echo \\\
        this is a continuation line
