So how is this for new wording?
"Multiple adjacent string literals (delimited by whitespace), possibly using different quoting conventions, are allowed, and their meaning is the same as their concatenation as long as the newline separating them is not signifcant to the parser."
I'm not sure it needs clarifying; it's the reference manual after all, not a tutorial. I'd rather let the grammar speak for itself; there's no ambiguity in that, and the words are just there to clarify the *semantics*. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
