Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't realize you had wandered down the primrose
path of thinking I was trying to suggest what some might call the "easy"
solution... :-p
Yeah. I know. Somewhere next week, in Seattle, when I least expect it,
I will pay.
*sigh*

Well, yes, the semicolon does work... but if you're going to have to
do new work to hack the way DDR parses statements anyhow, REXX-ish

you're considering votes, I vote for:
- "/* blah blah blah */" syntax for comments
- ";" (semicolon) for statement continuation
Ooooh. Humpty Dumpty strikes again! You have cleverly changed the
definition of "desirable" to mean "the most complicated option possible".
REXX comments. Nesting.<gack>
Semicolons, otoh, are simple to describe and simple to implement.
