Very brief I might add.  He only alludes to one technical reason
saying: "error trapping can occur much earlier".  I'm trying to
understand what is meant by this as well.  I don't see how my proposed
change affects error handling in anyway.  What problems are caused by
my change?  I'm actually very interested in this as I'm likely going to
be using this.

I hope I'm not being too demanding by desiring a documented list of
reasons why this is a bad idea.  I've search the groups and not found
anything significant related to this.  Where was it discussed an are
there logs? (was it on irc?)

Thanks Carl for pointing that out; I hadn't read that issue close
enough.  And, you're correct I am seeing that multiline {# #} are not
working in 1.3.1.

Personally, I would like to be able to see a tag all at once (that is
without scrolling), even though I might have to scroll to get to the
start of it.  I believe this improves readability of the template. My
specific use case is with include tags with long template paths and
added context variables.

Is there a way we can move forward on this?
