Maybe we could turn ... into a "string continuation operator":

print("This is example %d of a line that is "... "too long" % example_number)

I think that is an awesome idea.

Violates TOOWTDI. >>> print("This is an" + # traditional explicit operator ... " %s idea." % ("awesome" if False else "unimpressive")) This is an unimpressive idea. >>> already works (and always has AFAIK -- modulo the ternary operator, of course).
