Will we need to update the formatter as well? |

@markwpearce I would say so. I can open an issue and work on it once this PR is merged. |

A future OS release will introduce automatic line continuation in BrightScript, allowing expressions and function call arguments to span multiple lines after binary operators (
+,-,*,/,\,mod,^,and,or, and relational operators).For BrighterScript users, this PR adds parser support for that syntax in BrighterScript mode without introducing a separate feature flag.
Standard
.brsbehaviour remains unchanged unlessallowBrighterScriptInBrightScriptis already enabled, and transpiled output is still normalized back to ordinary single-line BrightScript.Behaviour
.bsfiles (BrighterScript mode).brsfiles only whenallowBrighterScriptInBrightScriptis set, because those files are then parsed in BrighterScript mode.brsfiles still emit syntax errors for binary-operator continuation and multi-line call arguments.brsCoverage
.brssyntax errors.brsExamples
Arithmetic operators
Boolean operators
Relational operators
Chained across multiple lines
Function call arguments split across lines
Inline collections as arguments (supported since BrightScript's inception — unaffected by this change)
