Statements
The following kinds of executable statements are available:
Even without semicolons, you are free to put as many statements as you like on one line, or to split a single statement across several lines. However you may not split a statement, with either a semicolon or newline, in the middle of an identifier, string, number or keyword.
There is no need for any line continuation syntax, except when splitting very long strings (not using triple quotes or backticks) over several lines, which requires a concatenation operator ('&').
