Is this the right place to propose language extensions? My Python code keeps expanding rightwards, it is difficult to keep it contained within reasonable limits. But the standard line continuation \ is positively anti-Pythonic because an *invisible* white space between \ and [CR] will render it useless.
How about a new Python symbol, maybe \\ that CAN have following whitespace which is ignored, so that seeing a \\ in the code forces it to continue on the next line. Has this issue been discussed already? slehar
