[Python-ideas] triple-quoted strings and indendation

[Greg Ewing]

I have an idea of my own concerning multi-line strings.

Many of the problems of triple-quoted strings stem from
the fact that they're trying to be expressions that
sit in-line with the rest of the code. As we've seen
with all the attempts to fit multi-line function bodies
into lambdas, that doesn't really work.

So instead of a multi-line string *expression*, I think
we need a *statement*.
