"(" means
   "continuation of the *current* line"

-- so it *must* be on the line to be continued .>)

I suppose "(" could be extended to mean, if it's preceded only
by whitespace,
   "continuation of the previous line"
but I'm not sure how useful that would be :)

if your file look like this:
---<clip>---
$TTL  1D
@             IN    SOA    bozo    subdude.post.com.
(
                             10       ; Serial
                             8H       ; Refresh
                             1H       ; Retry
                             1W       ; Expire
                             1D       ; Minimum
                             )

@           IN    NS         bozo
            IN    NS         bungo

1           IN    PTR        localhost
---<clip>---

it doesn't work. the "(" must in the same line.
i needed 1/2 hour for this bug (i think it's a bug) :-((
