We already have that, if you don't care about left-alignment: >>> """123456789\ ... abcdefghi""" '123456789abcdefghi' >>> So '\z' would only give us removal of indentation whitespace from the string. Too much magic, and it has the same problem that trailing '\' has: most people will have to intentionally look for it to see it (though it's easier to spot than trailing '\' for me). That's a -1 for me.
