Darnit! You're right. I've been reading up on Scala lately, and I
guess I got confused. Well, it wouldn't be a bad idea for Python to do
what I thought it did, *plus* what I said it ought to do.

        Is it that much of a difficulty to start multiline expresssions with
a (...

        That already covers all the conditions you want... Or just using a
line ending of \
(which I find less appealing than the (... )

I suppose this is a matter of "taste". I find using parenthesis to trigger line continuations undesirable. Lines ending in backslash are explicit and easy to mentally parse.
