-> Note: We have to use the `\` when we break a single STIMPL expression across multiple lines because we are using the Python interpreter to parse our STIMPL programs. Because the Python language is sensitive to line breaks and indentation, the `\` at the end of the line is used to tell Python that this line "continues" on the next line and makes sure that the Python parser does not treat it is a normal end-of-line.
