 From your above wikipedia link:

"Some support "line continuation", where a backslash followed 
immediately by EOL (end-of-line) causes the line break to be ignored, 
and the "logical line" to be continued on the next actual line from the 
INI file."

So it is proper syntax but maybe not supported.

Yes that does not help at all :(

Will need to do some testing I guess.
