Placing the line continuation on the end of the preceding line
wouldn't work because something like
:n C:\Windows\
is a legitimate Vim command. Using the start of the following line
instead is a good and unambiguous alternative.
Vim isn't the only program to use start-of-line continuations: RFC822
(email and the like) headers use whitespace at the start of a line to
indicate that the line is a continuation of the line above.
