That might very well be the case. But this ticket is not about line
continuation in pre-processor directives. My test were in comments, as is the
issue with this ticket. And none of them implementations listed above supports
them in comments before a "#version 420" statement (if supported at all).

I'm sorry if this is a bit blunt, but wow. That's one of the least appealing
arguments I've heard in a long time. Not only is someone paying you for your
time, you think that's a *justification* for not supporting the standard?
That's pretty much the oppositte of how this usually works.

So, as a paying customer of Intel, where would I file a bug-report that Intel
will deal with in a responsible way?

Fair enough. At least when considered in isolation.
