nit pick

This is as trivial an issue as one could imagine:

   test1()
   {
        typeset -a test1=(\
        "foo"
        "bar"
        "baz")
   }

   test2()
   {
        typeset -a test1=\
       ("foo"
        "bar"
        "baz")
   }

   $ test1; test2
   test2:2: invalid mode specification
... but it seems to me that as a matter of strict logic, since the backslash indicates line continuation I'd expect both of the above to work, that is, the opening parenthesis after the equal sign should be seen correctly either way.  Or is there a logical reason for the difference?
