The first option is likely the most compatible with existing uses of tokenize. If a comment token were emitted, an existing colorizer or pretty-printer would markup the continuation as a comment (possibly not what the tool author intended). If a new token were created, it might break if-elif-else chains in tools that thought they knew the universe of possible token types.
