<p>If you commented out a line of code that ended in a backslash it would be a continuation onto the next line, so unless half a line makes sense you would actually want the comment to apply to both, so the <em>shells</em> are dumb.</p>
<p>Of course if <em>I</em> was the Scintilla maintainer I would just say "Don't do that, its silly" <g-emoji class="g-emoji" alias="grin" fallback-src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/1f601.png">😁</g-emoji></p>
