Reason for ... instead of \ ?

[Olaf Till]

Hi,

could someone tell me what was the rationale for deprecating '\' as
line continuation sign in Octave syntax and favouring '...'?

I remember that this has been discussed, but can't find it now, and I
don't remember having seen the rationale explained.

Thanks,

Olaf
