It doesn't need it. Backslash escapes newlines, but in this
case is not needed because two strings together are joined.
They are put only because it's part of the style used by
the original author of st.

This way of writing usage() is common, because it is called
when an error in arguments is detected or when the user
interactively ask for it, and in this last case the return value
is not important because it is not going to be executed in
any script where the return value is important.
