By default, an instruction ends at the end of line.
If a single instruction is written on several lines, then each line, except the last one, must end with a space followed by the line-continuation-character & (ampersand).
Example 16.6. Line continuation
instruction on one line:
foo = bar + tar + zar
same instruction on 3 lines:
foo = bar + & tar + & zar
