I'm rather -1. It's quite convenient and I don't want to add some '+' signs everywhere I use it. I'm sure many people also have long string literals out there and will have to endure the pain of a dull task to "fix" their code.
However, in your case, foo('a' 'b') could raise a SyntaxWarning, since the "continuation" is on the same line.
I'm with Antoine. I love using implicit concatenation for splitting long literals across multiple lines.
Strongly -1 on this proposal, I also use this quite often.
-1 here. I use it a lot too, and find it very convenient, and while I could live with the change, I think it should have been made together with the lot of other syntax changes going to Python 3.
Also note that it was already proposed and rejected for Python 3. http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3126 -- Philip Jenvey
