I would always suggest to forget about the #pile mode when you program 
in Aldor, but as _ escapes the next character (and removes trailing 
spaces, yes _ also works in Aldor. You can compile the following file 
using "aldor -grun -laldor aaa.as".

--begin aaa.as
#include "aldor"
#include "aldorio"
#pile
import from Integer;

stdout <<_
12345 + _
78<< newl_
ine <<_
"hello _" __ world" << newline
--end aaa.as

Note that the identifier "newline" goes over two lines. That does not 
work for keywords, though.
