continuation at end of comment?

[Daniel J S. <dan...@ie...>]

The documentation for comments says:

 Comments are supported as follows: a `#` may appear in most places in a line
 and `gnuplot` will ignore the rest of the line.  It will not have this effect
 inside quotes, inside numbers (including complex numbers), inside command
 substitutions, etc.  In short, it works anywhere it makes sense to work.

Does the fact that a continuation character at the end of a comment cause the next line to also be treated as a comment agree, disagree, or not-conflict with the documentation.

I.e.,

# comment \
plot x

will not create a plot.
