As for "+", saying it is a replacement is a bit simplified, because the syntax definition (for method calls) or operator precedence (for e.g. %-formatting) may force you to add parentheses.
Maybe we could turn ... into a "string continuation operator":
print("This is example %d of a line that is "... "too long" % example_number)
at least trying to follow the complete thread so only a late feedback on this proposal from me: The mysterious type [Ellipsis] comes to the rescue with all of its three characters - helping to stay below 80 chars ? In this message I avoid further adding or subtracting numbers to not overflow the result ;-) but I somhow like the current two possible ways of doing "it", as when - manually - migrating code eg. from php to python I may either remove dots or replace these with plus signs. So I have a fast working migrated code base and then - while the clients work with it - I have a more relaxed schedule to further clean it up. [Ellipsis]: http://docs.python.org/3.3/reference/datamodel.html#index-8 All the best, Stefan.
