Whitespace is indeed an important point. I myself pay quite some
attention to nice identation and with multiline strings that will
probably break:
What about matching Python's whitespace handling for multiline
docstrings?

I was waiting for this proposal to pop up :)

No, really not. Pascal does not care about the amount of whitespace. 1 space or
10 does
not matter.
Amount of whitespace is and must remain irrelevant. The line-ending is bad
enough to
deal with, things should not be complicated even further.
