Re: [sv-bc] 1339: (RESEND)`define behavior on trimming leading and trailing spaces in macros

Section 3.6 String Literals gives a different semantics for the backslash-newline ligature:

> A string literal must be contained in a single line
> unless the new line is immediately preceded by a \ (back slash).
> In this case, the back slash and the new line are ignored.

Note that it does not inject a newline into the string data - \n
does that job, leading to the idiom "... \n\
"

Is there any good reason to inject this newline into macro replacement text?

I need more time and experiments to reply to your other points, Thomas.

Later,
Greg
