[issue36628] Enhancement: i-Strings

[Aditya Shankar]

New submission from Aditya Shankar :

Problem: multiline strings are a pain to represent (other than of-course in 
docstrings), representing a multiline string inside a function looks something 
like this -

def foo():
# some code
...
...
# some code
text = """abc meta alpha chronos
dudes uptomes this text
is nonsense"""
return somethingwith(text)

or

def foo():
# some code
...
...
# some code
text = "\n".join(["abc meta alpha chronos",
  "dudes uptomes this text",
  "is nonsense"])
return somethingwith(text)

an enhancement would be - 

def foo():
# some code
...
...
# some code
text = i"""
abc meta alpha chronos
dudes uptomes this text
is nonsense
"""
return somethingwith(text)
i.e. all initial spaces are not considered as a part of the string in each ine

for example while throwing an exception -
def foo(bad_param):
...
try:
some_function_on(bad_param)
except someException:
throw(fi"""
you cant do that because, and I'm gonna explain
this in a paragraph of text with this {variable}
because it explains things more clearly, also
here is the {bad_param}
""")
...
which is far neater than -

def foo(bad_param):
...
try:
some_function_on(bad_param)
except someException:
throw(f"""you cant do that because, and I'm gonna explain
this in a paragraph of text with this {variable}
because it explains things more clearly, also
here is the {bad_param}""")
    ...

pros:
- represented code is closer to output text
- implementation should not be too hard

[issue36200] display index on IndexError

[Aditya Shankar]

New submission from Aditya Shankar :

considering a list of 5 elements, if the 6th element is asked, the Interpreter 
would raise IndexError: list index out of range,
I think It'd be better if it actually said what the invalid index is

Improvement benefits:
*quicker debugging of faulty python code
*person debugging does not need to edit and restart the program to fix issue, 
sometimes at least
