Re: [Python-ideas] Implicit string literal concatenation considered harmful?

I like the \ idea because it's clearly syntax and not an operator, but the fact that it doesn't work with comments is annoying since one reason to break a string is to insert comments. I don't like that spaces after the \ are not allowed because trailing spaces are invisible to me but not to the parser. So what if the rule for trailing \ was changed to:

The \ continuation character may be followed by white space and a comment. If a comment is present, there must be at least one whitespace character between the \ and the comment.

It's not needed. You could just use the "+" operator if you want to insert comments. Or verbose mode of regexpes. And it works right now.
