Implicit string concatenation is massively useful for creating long strings in a readable way though:

I find it an elegant way of building strings and would be sad to see it go. Adding trailing '+' signs is ugly.
You'll still have textwrap.dedent::
call_something(dedent('''\
first part
second line
third line
'''))
And using textwrap.dedent, you don't have to remember to add the \n at the end of every line.
