+	Starting a comment in a continuation line results in all following
+	continuation lines to be part of the comment.  Since it was like this
+	for a long time, when making it possible to add a comment halfway a
+	sequence of continuation lines, it was not possible to use \", since
+	that was a valid continuation line.  Using '"\ ' comes closest, even
+	though it may look a bit weird.  Requiring the space after the
+	backslash is to make it very unlikely this is a normal comment line.
