Implicit string concatenation is massively useful for creating long strings in a readable way though:

This PEP doesn't seem very well-argued: "It's a common mistake to leave off a comma, and then scons complains that it can't find 'foo.cbar.c'." Yes, and then you say "oh, right!" and add the missing comma; problem fixed! The whole cycle takes about a minute. Is this really an issue worth fixing?
