I disagree. Why should the programmer be doing unnecessary coding?
Just like coding eval's all over the place. Most statements doesn't
continue to the next line (specially not in /free from). Why not code
a continuation character (+ -) in stead?. Other languages
(eg Visual Basic) does it, and it looks much better, and is less work.
Why can't the fact that you start a new line mean that you start a new
statement (like we're used to know). Why turn the logic. To make sure
nobody will use it?

My guess is those IBM programmers did too much MI coding! :)
