Replying to [comment:35 rhaas]:
Note that there is an implementation of line continuation that does not
require two passes and that works exactly as the one in the current parser that I propose above, so we *could* remain backwards compatible at no additional cost. That is, if one is willing to let combining lines be part of the routine that reads lines rather than part of the parser.
The problem with that is that the parser wouldn't get the lines numbers or all lines following the line continuation correct - and the line-combiner, not being a parser, wouldn't know where to insert the necessary empty lines.
