Well, If you want inline comments on each line. But I don't think this is a serious issue, because I can't think of a case where it's likely to happen that implicit continuation in parens doesn't already take care of. (For example, calling a builtin with 8 non-keyword params, you probably want a comment next to each argument, but the arguments are already in parens.)
