Well said.


Except that now I can't find the adjacent string literals in the
grammar any more!

I'm looking al http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/ref/grammar.txt

The path goes from primary to atom to literal to stringliteral (and
from there on into lexical detail) and nowhere does the grammar show
that multiple string literals are allowed. Adding a single + after
stringliteral in the expansion for literal would fix this
[SNIP]

But if you look at Grammar/Grammar you will notice that atom goes to STRING+ which should cover this. Is that grammar.txt file generated from Grammar/Grammar or is it done by hand?
