I would also like to know more about the rational behind ditching the
idea of
multilinetags.

{% trans with
     varname=myobject.proprety1
     someothervar=myobject.some.other_property
     yetanothervar=myotherobject.with_a_painfully_long_method_name
     "Even with line-wrap, it's a pain to read on a single line."
%}

Forcing a Python developer to write something like this on a single
line
is borderline cruel.

Besides, it's backward compatible (I think so) and it doesn't break
syntax highlighting (in Vim at least).
