Like C, the ooPIC compiler doesn't use carriage returns to determine
when a statement is done. It will seek the end of whatever...
statements, tokens, strings, whatever by looking for the actual end.
In this case it is looking for a quote mark. When it finds it...
then that is where it is.

Not that I think the C language is wonderful for allowing this, but
hey... it works.

Try this in the ooPIC compiler Ver 6 and see what code gets generated.
