Yeah -- it should discard the newline after a (block of) definition(s)
-- perhaps you had other forms as Matthew showed later.
Also, the line-comment thing in scribble consumes everything upto and
including the newline, so it's the same as `%' in tex and `dnl' in m4,
except that it is a syntactic comment in scribble -- so it's not a
"command" in the m4 sense (or an active character or whatever tex
calls it). The upshot of that is that you can't "redefine" it to do
something else. (BTW, since this is all at the syntax level, it's
applicable to any scribble syntax, including the documentation
system.)
