I should but it does not. I would like to use the macrocode environment 
to display something like

# a \
b

The following piece of code

\begin{macrocode}
# a \\
b
\end{macrocode}

simply returns

# a
b

Honestly, I believe we should not waste time on this issue. Adding 
"written as one line" after

\begin{macrocode}
# hg incoming -p
bundle://<path>\packagett{}-<identifier>-<date>.hg
\end{macrocode}

is ok.
