Ralph Goers commented on CONFIGURATION-324:
-------------------------------------------

Typically where I've seen this supported the continuation character has to be 
the last character on the line. If \ is followed by a blank it will not be a 
continuation. I've never much liked that since a blank is invisible most of the 
time.

> INIConfiguration does not support line continuation.  See 
> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file#Escapes for a description.  Using 
> INIConfiguration to read the following file:
> [section1]
> dotted.var1 = \
>       foo
> var2 = doodle
> Produces the following contents:
>     section1.dotted.var1= \

> I expected the following contents:
>     section1.dotted.var1= foo
