I don't care much for trailing whitespace but I thought we should respect the trailing whitespace in the event that it is significant.
If I'm worried about precision in a string, I turn on the display of whitespace characters and make sure everything is as expected. I also think it would surprise me if I put a space there and then the compiler removes it. Also, what would this mean? """ Line 1 \ Line 2 """ Is that backslash escaping the newline? or is it there to include the trailing whitespace on Line 1? > On Apr 13, 2017, at 9:20 AM, Adrian Zubarev <adrian.zuba...@devandartist.com> > wrote: > > This is not an assumptions but a fact that the trailing spaces cannot and > should not exist without an explicit annotation for precision, otherwise the > backslash looses one of its main and significant functionality. > > > > > -- > Adrian Zubarev > Sent with Airmail > > Am 13.
