That being said, I think that a piece of code that reads:
{
x := 1 +
3;
}
should be viewed as fairly suspect, and the absence of a closing curly brace
before the implied closing position to the left of "3" is probably cause for
issuing a diagnostic - and perhaps an error rather than a warning. On the
rare occasion where something this horrible is actually needed, one could
use:
{
x := 1 + \
3;
}
where the "\" indicates that newline does not end the line. The motivating
use case for this is something like:
{
printf("abc %s def %d", \
"a very long diagnostic string here that would line wrap", \
5)
}
