In 3.6, we introduced a new prefix, 'f', so there was no back
compatibility issue. There was, however, a combinatorial explosion
issue, as 'F' was also added (a mistake, I now think), and no order
requirement (possibly another mistake). Hence
stringprefix ::= "r" | "u" | "R" | "U"

But sure, with that in mind it gets more tricky

It would radically change the meaning of every existing multi-line string.
That is an enormous backwards-compatibility break. It might work as a
__future__ import, though.

Hey David,
hm, that's actually a nice way to solve this too I guess, besides the
additional import and "string literal".
but as I answered to robert before (did it wrong with who to answer,

Hey Robert
Not really, I don‘t think another string literal would be nice.
Also, to correct your example, it would have to look something like:
print(d“““
I am
a Line
“““)
The Idea is to use the closing quotes to detect the indentation length so
to speak...

What is a huge amount of work? Writing the PEP? Implementing the PEP?
Using the PEP? Adapting existing Python code to the PEP?
Why isn't the answer to provide a hook to support introspection?
That is a lot eas
I can currently write:
from textwrap import dedent as d
print(d("""
I am
A Line
"""))
It doesn't feel like these hypothetical d-strings are with new syntax.

So yes, currently you just do :
import textwrap
print(textwrap.dedent("""
I am
A Line
"""))
So you'd want a string litteral ?
print(d"""
I am
A Line
""")
