Whereas \u0020 is just another way of expressing space, it also gets consumed
by trailing space stripping. Maybe you meant to say we already have \040, which
I would reply that you might have the ASCII table memorized but many do not. \s
also has brevity on its side.
String colors = """
red \040
green \040
blue \040
""";
verses
String colors = """
red \s
green \s
blue \s
""";
