I'm dubious this would be much of a realistic improvement in ease-of-use -
at least in the Linux/bash world where you are much better off constructing
some form of here-doc - and passing that in via standard input - if you need
to make use of multiple statements and usually want white-space to make
reading/maintaining those statements easier.

Not saying such an implementation wouldn't be accepted but it isn't the most
novel of ideas and it hasn't piqued anyone's interest enough to implement
thus far....
