I'm rather -1. It's quite convenient and I don't want to add some '+' signs everywhere I use it. I'm sure many people also have long string literals out there and will have to endure the pain of a dull task to "fix" their code.
However, in your case, foo('a' 'b') could raise a SyntaxWarning, since the "continuation" is on the same line.
I'm with Antoine. I love using implicit concatenation for splitting long literals across multiple lines.
Strongly -1 on this proposal, I also use this quite often.
-1 here. I use it a lot too, and find it very convenient, and while I could live with the change, I think it should have been made together with the lot of other syntax changes going to Python 3.
I used to sort-of dislike it in the past and only recently started using it more often, specifically for dealing with long string literals. I really like it for that, although I've also been bitten by the "missing comma" bug. I guess I'm -0.5 on removing it. Stefan
