Rather than adding new flags, I'd think I'd prefer:
1. Change the behavior (back) so only '\\$', not '\\ *$', causes a
line to be continued.
2. Make -Wcomment more useful to it only warns when it might matter:
The following line contains non-comment whitespace.
3. Make -Wcomment the default - not just for -Wall, but always.
It can be turned off with -Wno-comment
