[disclaimer, which perhaps I should have been adding long ago: I haven't written any CL in years. Nor scheme, actually, but I much prefer it to CL. I only occasionally do pieces of emacs lisp.] I think code with \\ at line ends would be annoying to maintain, for the same reason multi-line #define

[Readable-discuss] Long Common Lisp loops... and sweet-expressions.
