Heh--not to bikeshed, but my personal preference is to leave the
trailing space on the first line. This is because by the time I've
started a new line (and possibly have spent time fussing with
indentation for the odd cases that my editor doesn't get quite right)
I'll have forgotten that I need to start the line with a space :)
I agree that the first version of the example, with space after 'very',
before the quote, is better. I also put '\n' at the end of literals to
be auto-joined, rather than at the beginning.
Until you end up with like 20 merge conflicts because some editors strip
trailing whitespace...
A space within a string literal is not trailing whitespace and will not
be stripped.
