I'm working on some test code and came up with what I think is a valid use
of a line ending in \.  I'm not escaping the newline from a Python syntax
point of view.  I'm doing in inside of a string literal.  Example:

    mismatches_description = textwrap.dedent("""\
        expected = <test xmlns="http://docs.openstack.org/identity/api/v2.0
">
          <success/>
        </test>

        actual = <test xmlns="http://docs.openstack.org/identity/api/v2.0">
          <nope_it_fails/>
        </test>
    """)

This can be written in several different ways, but I think that none of
them is as clear as the trailing slash.  This is, I think, the clearest
alternative example:

    mismatches_description = textwrap.dedent("""
        expected = <test xmlns="http://docs.openstack.org/identity/api/v2.0
">
          <success/>
        </test>

        actual = <test xmlns="http://docs.openstack.org/identity/api/v2.0">
          <nope_it_fails/>
        </test>
    """).lstrip()

Would this use be forbidden too?
