Thanks for the patch.

I think the question is whether existing users are more likely to be
relying on this behaviour, or simply finding it confusing.  I'd actaully
hazard the latter --- line continuation is more useful if it's doing
something a bit more predictable --- so I'd be inclined just to include
the patch.  But I expect there are arguments the other way.
