Line continuation issue\

[Steven Lehar]

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?
