    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Right now using the "\" as a line-end causes the following warning from
libinterp/parse-tree/lex.ll+1186:

static const char *msg = "using continuation marker \\ outside of double
quoted strings is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of
Octave";

It would be useful if the warning suggested the "correct" continuation marker
of "..." as a change to the programmer.
