Right, and therefore we can't support the original spec as long as we
also support the more important single-quoting and double-quoting of strings.
I'm closing this without prejudice because I think we've stated our
positions clearly and it's not a bug, but if you or anyone else want to
propose a patch that can support multiline or the other keywords without
breaking the current functionality, we can reopen.
I would also welcome patches to remove the netrc.el usage.
Thanks
Ted
