This is a good point. However, it wouldn't be hard to make search overcome this. So we have to weigh the number of commands for which we want to disregard the soft newlines, against the number of commands for which would look at the newlines. I think the former will be few and the latter many, but if someone can demonstrate it is the other way, you could change my mind.
