Basically, I have spent a few hours experimenting and searching on the
comp.unix.shell

how to break a command with several switches into more than one line
AND to be able to put some comment on each line.

#!/bin/bash -xv

command       \ # comment1
         -sw1 \ # comment2
         -sw2 \ # comment3
         arguments

One ought to be able to comment every single switch if desired for
whatever reason.
