line continuation

Rob why can't you implement a line continuation token.
  You could use something like this -\ which would treat everything
  after it as comments and continue to parse on the next line.

  Then we would not have to write

  "the first line"&  -- comment 1
  "the second line"& -- comment 2
  "the third line"&  -- comment 3
  "the forth line"

  But this when intializing a large sequence of text

  "the first line   -\  comment 1
  the second line   -\  comment 2
  the third line    -\  comment 3
  the forth line"
