Here's that I think might not need a PEP:

* Eliminate implicit string concatenation: "abc" "def" in favor of an explicit + operation. -0.707. I've used languages where the only way of splitting a string over lines is to use concatenation, and it's tedious. When there are multi-line concats, I think _the parenthesis serves us much better than a trailing _ Which can be done perfectly well as things are: ('hello ' 'world ')

Yes, but this causes subtle bugs when you forget a comma: what
should be the second parameter ends up in the first one. You run the
program with no syntax errors and later you'll find that e-mails are
being sent to 'me at domain.comHello!' or something like that.

As they say: just my 2 cents.
