I did something similar after having read
http://docs.python.org/2/howto/doanddont.html, under "Using Backslash to
Continue Statements".
But I always use + signs. I didn't know that omitting them also works. Is
str.__add__ called then, too?
Isn't this a violation of the 'Explicit is better than implicit(ly concatenate
strings)' principle?
>>> a = ('this' +
' string' +
' is long')
>>> a
'this string is long'
