Allow suppressing end-of-line newline in string literals with a trailing backslash #66

Same behavior as in Rust.

print("xyzzy

plugh");

should be same as

print("\
xyzzy

plugh\
");

How's the indentation work on that?

FeepingCreature commented 6 months ago

when an unescaped U+005C character (\) occurs immediately before a line break, then the line break character(s), and all immediately following ' '(U+0020), \t (U+0009), \n (U+000A) and \r (U+0000D) characters are ignored

I'll probably not skip newlines there, since Rust call it out as confusing.
