Me too.  Not only does this make parsing easier, it also
draws attention to the pseudocomment, which otherwise
gets lost in the abc.

As Bryan says, a backslash followed by a comment at the end
of a line is not ruled out by abc 1.6, and I think it important
that we keep the new standard a superset of the 1.6 standard.

Not that I've ever seen an abc tune which used this, and it
doesn't work in BarFly.

Currently this works OK:

ABcd ABcd | ABcd%comment\
ABcd|]

while this doesn't:

ABcd ABcd | ABcd\% comment
ABcd|]

I suppose I ought to fix it, but it doesn't exactly seem like an
urgent job.
