"Explicit is better than implicit."

What is your use case and scenario? :-)

Maybe it's better to write a function to automatise this so that if 
instead of "line 1\n ..." you want "banana 1~banana 2~ " etc. you can 
simply change parameters?

That said join and list comprehensions would also come to mind, but not 
sure how "obvious" that is...
