I'm wondering if this is really something we should encourage to be used. In a :def function it's now possible to omit the line continuation, especially for a list and dict. Why not use a :def function instead? It's not fully stable yet, but this pull request is also new. |

This will still be needed for executing pre-vim9 scripts from a register.
For example, many times when developing the test scripts, I needed this
support
to copy a Vim script fragment and execute it. If the fragment had line
continuation,
then I need to copy it to another buffer, remove the line continuation and
then
yank it again and execute it.
Regards,
Yegappan

Hmm, OK. Would be good to add a remark in the help somewhere, with a hint that this is mainly for trying out a part of a Vim script, not for normal use. |

Problem: Cannot execute a register containing line continuation.
Solution: Concatenate lines where needed. (Yegappan Lakshmanan,
closes vim/vim#6272)
vim/vim@856c111
According to neovim#2542 the "Future:" part was removed intentionally.
Use size_t in more places to reduce type casts.

When executing register contents using the :@ command, currently line
continuation is not supported. This is very useful for testing VimScript
snippets by yanking the contents to a register and then executing it.
