Yes, good idea. This makes sense inside quoted arguments: message(STATUS "\ This is the first line! \ It is really long so we split it with a continuation. \ Actually it is the only line!\ ") The syntax has always generated errors in the past so it can be done without changing behavior for previously working code. Fortunately some of the recent lexer changes made for the bracket arguments makes this feature a one-line change to the lexer: http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=efcf318f Note that \-continuation does not make sense within the new bracket-argument syntax whose purpose is to hold literal content with no escaping. All backslashes are literal, including those just before a newline.
