No, it was explicitly _not_ included in the language because of the
hazard of a missing comment terminator.

If I understand the question, yes.  Statements can span lines,
although literal strings cannot.  For that, one would say:

	Warning : constant STRING := "Danger, "
                       & "Will Robinson";
