Feature, as others have pointed out, though I fail to see the need
for it, given that Python's general syntax for string (as opposed
to string literal) concatenation is already so convenient. I.e.,
I fail to see why
x = ("first part of a very long string "
"second part of a very long string")
is so much better than
x = ("first part of a very long string " +
"second part of a very long string")
FWIW, C has the same concatenation feature for string literals.
E.g., the following is valid C:
printf("first part of a very long string "
"second part of a very long string\n");
