This is not an assumptions but a fact that the trailing spaces cannot and should not exist without an explicit annotation for precision, otherwise the backslash looses one of its main and significant functionality.

""" foo """ I could tell you, that the string from above could have 10k characters, even if you wouldn’t believe me, as it was proposed (and included in yesterday’s toolchain) my claim can be true. The trailing spaces needs to be stripped by the algorithm unless there is an explicit precision annotation with a backslash! """ foo \ """ That example definitely won’t have 10k characters. -- Adrian Zubarev Sent with Airmail Am 13.

For example: let str_2 = """↵ foo··↵ """ The two trailing whitespaces after foo would get removed according to what you are proposing. I don't like this rule. I think we are better off with leaving it alone and to the tools as Brent suggested.
