[Configobj-develop] Continuation for multi-line data

[Abhinandan J. <ja...@he...>]

Hi

I see in the documentation that the use of '\' as a continuation
character for multi-line data is no longer supported in ConfigObj
4. There are some third party configuration datafiles for which I have
found this feature very useful when parsing using ConfigObj.

I'd like to put in a request to add back support for this to ConfigObj 4
as an optional feature. In my case, the data files are fairly simple
in structure so it is OK with me if enabling this feature means that
some other features in ConfigObj will not be available when parsing the
files. 

Thanks

Abhi
