I decided that would be highly unfriendly, so INCLUDECMD now replaces
a newline in a continuation-line with a space before passing it along
to the shell.

So here's the result:

    $ cat /tmp/x.rem
    INCLUDECMD printf 'REM MSG %s\n' a b \
    c d e

    $ remind /tmp/x.rem
    Reminders for Sunday, 5th September, 2021 (today):

    a

    b

    c

    d

    e
