[Python-ideas] allow line break at operators

[Yingjie Lan]

Hi Matt,

=======================================================
From: Matt Joiner <anacrolix at gmail.com>


The "trailing \" workaround is nonobvious. Wrapping in () is noisy and
already heavily used by other syntactical structures. 

=======================================================

How about only require indentation
to freely break lines? Here is an example:

x = firstpart * secondpart #line breaks here
+ anotherpart #continue by indentation
+ stillanother #continue on.
#until here, another line starts by dedentation 
y = some_expression - another_one

All this would be completely compatible with former code, while
having almost free line breaking! Plus, indentation makes it pretty.

Really hope Python can have freedom in breaking lines.
