It does more than just newline escapes:

larsi@joga:~/src/emacs/trunk$ touch /tmp/"foo bar"
larsi@joga:~/src/emacs/trunk$ ls -lb /tmp/"foo bar"
-rw-rw-r-- 1 larsi larsi 0 Aug 24 12:24 /tmp/foo\ bar
larsi@joga:~/src/emacs/trunk$ ls -l /tmp/"foo bar"
-rw-rw-r-- 1 larsi larsi 0 Aug 24 12:24 '/tmp/foo bar'
