I have to admit, regardless of how practical this is, it would surely get
rid of a ton of textwrap.dedent calls all over the place...

Hey List,
this is my very first approach to suggest a Python improvement I'd think
worth discussing.
At some point, maybe with Dart 2.0 or a little earlier, Dart is now
supporting multiline strings with "proper" identation (tried, but I can't
find the according docs at the moment. probably due to the rather large
changes related to dart 2.0 and outdated docs.)
What I have in mind is probably best described with an Example:
print("""
I am a
multiline
String.
""")
the closing quote defines the "margin indentation" - so in this example all
lines would get reduces by their leading 4 spaces, resulting in a "clean"
and unintended string.
anyways, if dart or not, doesn't matter - I like the Idea and I think
python3.x could benefit from it. If that's possible at all :)
I could also imagine that this "indentation cleanup" only is applied if the
last quotes are on their own line? Might be too complicated though, I can't
estimated or understand this...
thx for reading,
Marius
