2.1.6 Implicit line joining
</H2>

<P>
Expressions in parentheses, square brackets or curly braces can be
split over more than one physical line without using backslashes.
For example:

<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
month_names = ['Januari', 'Februari', 'Maart',      # These are the
               'April',   'Mei',      'Juni',       # Dutch names
               'Juli',    'Augustus', 'September',  # for the months
               'Oktober', 'November', 'December']   # of the year
</pre></div>

<P>
Implicitly continued lines can carry comments.  The indentation of the
continuation lines is not important.  Blank continuation lines are
allowed.  There is no NEWLINE token between implicit continuation
lines.  Implicitly continued lines can also occur within triple-quoted
strings (see below); in that case they cannot carry comments.
