I notice many keywords in runtime/syntax/vim.vim are split across

"syn keyword vimCommand" could logically be assumed to be a single

If this is correct, I'm curious if there's some pattern to how they
are organized. It seems each line is in alphabetical order. But
there's a's in each line. Is there some way to decide which line each
keyword goes to?
Or am I just over-thinking things? :)

As Dr.Chip said, parts of the syntax/vim.vim script are generated
automatically. When the interpreter sources the script, every line
starts a new statement, except of course in the case of "continuation
lines", i.e. if (in 'nocompatible' mode) the first nonblank on the line
is a backslash, in which case the interpreter disregards the backslash,
all (zero or more) tabs or spaces preceding it, and the line break
between that line and the one before it.
Best regards,
Tony.
