The last preprocessing token in the sequence is the first preprocessing token within the sequence that
is immediately followed by whitespace containing a new-line character.
\begin{footnote}
Thus,
preprocessing directives are commonly called ``lines''.
These ``lines'' have no other syntactic significance,
as all whitespace is equivalent except in certain situations
during preprocessing (see the
\tcode{\#}
character string literal creation operator in~\ref{cpp.stringize}, for example).
\end{footnote}
\begin{note}
A new-line character ends the preprocessing directive even if it occurs
within what would otherwise be an invocation of a function-like macro.
