The easiest solution might be to simply allow \ as a line-continuation operator. So you'd write:

  return \
     x;

But then you’ve just swapped one set of trade offs for another. It seems like a weak solution. IIRC semicolons were added to the languages of old to avoid the need for line continuation marks.
