Interesting. I hadn't come across that idiom before. In Python, you'll have things like: myLongList = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Interesting. I hadn't come across that idiom before. In Python, you'll have things like: myLongList = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] No continuation character is needed, because the continuation is implied. However, I can't think of a direct parallel to your example above. It looks handy. What API/language are you alluding to? I guess the Pythonic way would be something like: win = Window(title = "A new window", foreground = "Red", background = "White", menuBar = [fileMenu, viewMenu, helpMenu]) But I disgress. :^)
