  % foo () {
  > echo hello, \
  > # this is a comment
  > world
  > }
  % foo
  hello,
  foo:3: command not found: world
  
which is the same issue as

  % echo hello, \
  > # comment
  hello,

This may be intentional, but if so, it strikes me as a rather
undesirable feature, or at least one which you should be able to turn
off.
