Wouldn't this be context-sensitive (as mentioned by Wolfgang Laun)?
Could you show an example of how to preprocess the code so that commas
in paratheses can be moved to the previous lines robustly? I don't see
an easy way to make this robust. For example, you could have some
legal awk code in a string, then the preprocessor needs know to what
is a string so that it will not make the change.
