4.2.38 ‘-n\’: Free-form syntax continued by backslash

In Fortran–90, this turns on free-form syntax and sets the continuation character to be the backslash (as it would be in C). For example,

     -n9[-n\]
     @
     @a
     program main
     x = \
      y
     end

In the tangled output the backslash is converted into Fortran-90's standard continuation character, the ampersand.
