The bare string will be evaluated but not assigned to any variable name. 
You don't need to tell the compiler anything.  As an example, here is a 
tiny program that runs:

"""A little test program to verify that a floating string is OK."""

MSG = 'this is a test'
print(MSG)

"""This is a free-floating message
that is just a note to myself.
