Or it might not? Seriously, how could we even tell the difference? I mean, I get as frustrated as anyone when I'm trying to read documentation and the issue I want to read about is not documented where I expected it to be. But it's even more frustrating when something gets broken to "fix" someone else's comprehension problems. Good documentation, good explanations, and maybe a little experimentation are good fixes for comprehension problems. And sometimes with a lot of work good documentation can be woven into the user interface or application interface. But adding a whole new layer of complexity doesn't really improve anyone's comprehension - even if it is a lot of fun to do. Here, what you've got is a whole bunch of systems (not just pf.conf) where \ at the end of a line includes the next line in the current line. That's kind of an awkward thing, but honestly so is anything other multi-line mechanism. But another approach is to just use really long lines (also awkward, but easily comprehended.)
