[O] [BUG]? \\ and `fill-paragraph' |

Hello!
When using "\\" to force linebreaks, these potentially get lost when
reformatting the paragraph with Alt+Q (fill paragraph).
Given an input
: - long sentence long sentence
: long sentence long sentence
: long sentence long sentence
: long sentence: \\
: Next line.
pressing Alt+Q (`fill-paragraph') I'd expect to get
: - long sentence long sentence long sentence long sentence long
: sentence long sentence long sentence: \\
: Next line.
but what I get is
: - long sentence long sentence long sentence long sentence long
: sentence long sentence long sentence: \\ Next line.
This is a problem especially as a "\\" anywhere but at the end of the
line is exported literally (i.e. `fill-paragraph' changes both the
appearance in emacs and in exported formats).
The Problem occurs in the opposite direction too: If a "\\" is m e a
n t to occur literally it can end up at the end of a line and thus be
interpreted as a line break.
The problem can be partially avoided by marking each "line" and /then/
pressing Alt+Q, but it is inconvinient and hinders fille-wide
reformatting (e.g. when the variable `fill-column' has changed).
