I think I'd go more for a triple-quoted string with a prefix for
dedenting and removing newlines:
f = [m'''
      abc
      def
      ghi
     ''']
where f == ['abcdefghi'].
Cool enough, but

f = [m'''

f == ['abc def ghi']
True
Worse,

f = [m'''

f == ['abc def ghi']
True
Yikes!  (Yeah, I know about consenting adults.)
