That’s right. I’ve put the comments in each line deliberately because I think since startup script mostly contains the commands and configuration (and not code) with many arguments and macro substitution, I think it makes sense to support inline comment in multiline statement in this case which helps in readability a lot.

Maybe semi multiline statement is a better term …

Is there any possibility to have multi-line statements in startup script like this:

 

dbLoadRecords(“myDb.db”, \     # First comment

                                “P=prefix, \         # Second comment

                                R=suffix”)            # third comment

 

Note that AFAIK multi-line statements in other interpreters (like shells) require the newline character to appear immediately after the backslash, so your example would *not* be a multi-line statement.
