And how can I do that?
:set guitabtooltip=a\nb
results in a tooltip displaying "anb" (Without the quotes).
The output of :version is:

Am I missing a feature for evaluating the \n in guitabtooltip?

Option 1: Don't use an escape sequence with :set; use the terminal
code:
:set guitabtooltip=a<Ctrl-V><Ctrl-M>b
Option 2: Treat it as an expression rather than an option:
:let &guitabtooltip="a\nb"
Using :set with very complicated string options is a real pain. With
:let, you can avoid much of the headache associated with backslashes
and whitespace. And, in this case, it's the only way to get escape
characters recognized.

Are these options documented in the help? If not, could you write a
patch for the help files (probably for :help setting-guitablabel)? I
don't know what to write because I don't know why these options work and
why other ways of including a newline in guitabtooltip don't work.
Thanks,
