The $'...' form of quoting is a special one which can be used to quote
things that can't be quoted by backslashes.  In this case, that's a
newline.  Actually, a normal '<newline>' would work here, but $'...'
quoting is used for consistency with cases where that wouldn't work.  If
you try it, you'll see it does indeed do the right thing.
