Oh, thanks for the link, I was almost sure that something like that was 
proposed before - sorry I didn't thoroughly search the PEPs beforehand.

I still think that indendation of triple-quoted strings is a wart of the 
language - a small one, but still a wart. But it's been discussed and 
rejected before - and probably with good reasons.
