how to break a command with several switches into more than one line

command \ # comment1

Not what you want to hear, but that will not work. With the above,
the backslash is being used to escape the following space, rather
then a newline, as is required to continue the line. Even if it
were to work that way, would the next line be considered a continuation
of the command, or of the comment?
Your stuck with
command \
-sw1
# comment1
# comment2
