I'm a strong -1 on this PEP if ``\``-continuation is removed from
inside triple-quoted strings. I'd hate to have to go from writing::
>>> textwrap.dedent('''\
... foo
... bar
... ''')
'foo\nbar\n'
to writing::
>>> textwrap.dedent('''
... foo
... bar
... '''[1:])
'foo\nbar\n'
or maybe::
>>> textwrap.dedent('''
... foo
... bar
... '''.lstrip('\n'))
'foo\nbar\n'

I think the only way to answer this is to have someone actually
implement it, so that we can evaluate the complexity of the
implementation. If someone can produce a patch, we can talk about
this.

Again, let's see a patch and we can talk about it.
