Well, if " \ " is the symbol for continuation, which tells
the program "Don't feel you have to put a linebreak here,"
you could have " \\ " for "and I really mean it."
But there is a principle we're running into, now that free symbols
are so scarce: something like " \\ " is easy to type and quite visible,
so one might want to save it for something which will be used a lot. I
suspect a no-linebreak won't get much general use, tho people who use it
at all might use it a lot. This would make it a candidate for a directive
something like
!whatever-you-do-please-don't-break-the-line-here!
which will, of course be used this way:
U:N = whatever-you-do-please-don't-break-the-line-here
... |abc def| N
ABC DEF|...
