This man page mentions comments, and \newline broken lines, but
doesn't mention if one can do

!*VT100.font: -arphic-ar pl uming \
	     tw-light-r-normal--17-120-100-100-c-0-iso10646-1

or needs to do
!*VT100.font: -arphic-ar pl uming \
!	     tw-light-r-normal--17-120-100-100-c-0-iso10646-1
like bash, to comment this continuation line.

My experiments show me that the former is sufficient. Please document
that fact. Maybe something like:

*** /tmp/X.7	2008-05-22 02:10:10.478695000 +0800
--- /tmp/X.7.new	2008-05-22 02:09:22.074695980 +0800

  To allow a Value to contain arbitrary character codes,
  the four-character sequence ``\\\^\fInnn\fP'',
  where each \fIn\fP is a digit character in the range of ``0''\-``7'',

I don't really feel the need for it, so I'll close this bug
report. Feel free to submit it upstream anyway:
