- -1. The feature exists to allow adherence to PEP-8, "Limit all lines to
a maximum of 79 characters.", without requiring runtime concatenation
costs. I use it frequently when assembling and testing message strings,
for instance.
removing it is a bad idea for the reasons already given, but requiring
parentheses could help.
that is, the following would result in a warning or an error:
L = ["first", "second" "third"]
but the following wouldn't:
L = ["first", ("second" "third")]
T = ("This is a line of text.\n"
"This is another line of text.\n")
etc.
