Avi: when I see an email from you I tend to ignore it because it always
seems to lead to something that is long, time consuming and complex. Would
you consider finding ways to make your questions or comments a lot briefer?

I will be more inclined to read them if they are briefer.

You have correctly determined the conditions that will lead to continuation
lines without backslash. I think we tend to use whatever is convenient.

In your example of a list comprehension over multiple lines there is no
indentation. There is just a lot of white space. You might look at it this
way: the compiler sees a left bracket with no corresponding right bracket
on that line. So it assumes that there's more to the statement on the next
line, it ignores the newline and just continues. Indentation is only
significant if it starts at the beginning of a statement.

Hope this helps
