nit pick

This is as trivial an issue as one could imagine:

    test1()
    {
         typeset -a test1=(\
         "foo"
         "bar"
         "baz")
    }

    test2()
    {
         typeset -a test1=\
        ("foo"
         "bar"
         "baz")
    }

    $ test1; test2
    test2:2: invalid mode specification

... but it seems to me that as a matter of strict logic, since the 
backslash indicates line continuation I'd expect both of the above to 
work, that is, the opening parenthesis after the equal sign should be 
seen correctly either way.  Or is there a logical reason for the difference?
