Could you share an example of such a design? It doesn't have to be something you'd be happy to have in the language; it just needs to fit the following criteria: * Permits non-significant hard-wrapping in a string literal. * Works equally well with single and triple string literals. * Preserves code indentation, but does not require single string literals to do indentation stripping. * Is not horribly inconvenient. -- Brent Royal-Gordon Architechies
