Does anyone know of any other syntax that uses a similar method of
continuation?
IDL continuations are similar.

IDL provides yet another variant to add to the mix. However,
syntactically it is quit different:

1) '$' must occur as the last character on the line.
2) It is a separate token, not part of another.
3) It is not redundant; when '$' occurs as the last character the
continuation is unconditional, because...
4) ...the continued line does not contain additional syntax.
