Hmm, thanks, although I don't see why it was rejected, since it seems to me that by using the addition operator or triple-quoting all the use cases would become clearer and not significantly harder to write, while the (often silent) errors would not happen any more.

I use this feature all the time in preference to triple quote strings
to allow the indenting structure to be preserved.

def I_like_this(): s = ("a multi line\n" "that keeps the indent of the function") return

def I_do_not_like_this(): s = '''a multi line that break the indent of the function" return
