Comment (by rhaas):
Yup, I also would not have expected to slice up identifiers. However the old parser supports it and for example Fortran does let you do exactly that as well with its line continuation so there is precedent. I also checked the docs (before posting the files) to check if eg the wording was that of C which essentially says "a backslash followed by a newline is replaced by a space". The wording would also make {{{ Mary had a little <space><tab><newline> lamb }}} a continuation (tab is a "space").
That will teach us to make assumptions on what people may reasonably do I guess :-)
