Question for language design people:

Imagine a language which uses newline as a delimiter. It has the idiom of ending a line with \ in order to extend it.

Imagine a line ends with \,
and then the next line is *completely blank*,
and then the line after that contains content.

Do you expect:

The line merges with the blank one after it and the line after that is a new line?

The blank line is ignored and the \ line is merged with the next non-blank line?

Designer's choice?
