No, please! The concatenation of string literals is done in the parser. Your proposal would move that to runtime and introduce a "whitespace operator". How would you spell that? How would you overload it? etc.
A single-width whitespace operator would just be confusing since PEP 3117 will be using zero-width spaces for the None typedef : )
