Hi guys,
Thanks for your replies:

No, please! The concatenation of string literals is done in the parser.
Your proposal would move that to runtime [snip...] An implementation detail? [...snip] and introduce a "whitespace operator".
How would you spell that? How would you overload it? etc.
This is exactly what I'm proposing. You could spell it __juxta__ short for
juxtaposition or __concat__, and overload it as usual :-)

A single-width whitespace operator would just be confusing since PEP
3117 will be using zero-width spaces for the None typedef : )
3117 looks cool, but it is in draft stages so needn't factor. Anyone with any positive reactions? Eoghan
