Well, I thought about that, too. If would be nice to have this at a  
global level, but that again introduces the problem Laurent  
mentionened, about
having to know about the syntax to do it right.
I'd rather use this as a means to break up long initialization  
vectors for arrays and breaking up long parameter lists, though I  
don't currently
have this problem, I admit. I just jumped at it, because I thought it  
would be a nice excuse to take a look at the ST innards ;)
