Take a look at Brent's revised proposal.I personally thin it is perfect. Take
a look:

Well, um, looks like we got scooped. (I was playing with some non-essential wording
and trying to test all the examples before I pointed the list at the new version.)
FWIW Although I still believe that allowing text on the same line with opening or
closing """ (except for the single-line case) is over-complicating of the model and
adding unnecessary point of confusion, especially for the reader of code("will new
line be inserted here?!well.. for this special case I have to check docs"..), I can
give +1 for this updated proposal as it provides correct(from my point of view)
behavior for "normal" multi-line string like
"""
line 1
line 2
"""
-> "line 1\nline 2\n"
Since requiring a leading backslash went over like a lead balloon, we've revised the
proposal one more time. The leading newline is now optional: If indentation stripping
is enabled, you can either start typing content on the same line as the delimiter, or
you can start on the next line. I resisted this solution for a while because it seems
ad-hoc, but ultimately it's the design that preserves the most formatting flexibility
for the user, so I think it's the right way to go.
Other than that, there are no changes to the design in this revision, though I've
rephrased a few things and added a section about why we strip a leading newline but
not a trailing one.
John has also built a new version of the toolchain which matches this behavior.
