Let me show you (have you ever tried you syntax proposal yourself ????):
My_Function_Call
(First_Parameter => 1,
Second_Parameter => "whatever",
Third_Parameter => (1, 8, 9 10, 2, 0),
Last_One => 12.89);
vs.
My_Function_Call \
(First_Parameter => 1, \
Second_Parameter => "whatever", \
Third_Parameter => (1, 8, 9 10, 2, 0), \
Last_One => 12.89)
So you have removed one ";" and added four "\" !!!!!

Do you have a Ada-F parser ? If so start using it, put it on your web page
along with some nice examples.

You Russ, you are trying to push a new syntax based on some "dreams" and you
have actually never used it :) You seem to have not even taken the time to
write some simple Ada-F sources... credibility ?
Pascal.
