While I agree, this is somehow something I expect. Implicit string concatenation without operator or function around it sounds just like a terrible idea. It breaks the basic syntax concept of `foo X bar`. On the other hand it is probably very handy with DSLs and things like that.

Not so much DSLs, it's probably something as banal and ancient as

  usage = (
    'usage: foo [options] filenames...\n'
    '  -f force concatenation\n'
    '  -c for convenience\n'
  )
  print usage

Edit: forgot to add parentheses
