I'll somewhat disagree. If code style impacts code readability then I think
it is useful to review that. I don't want unreadable code to land because
the automated style checkers don't complain. Basically use common sense.

This passes code style checks:
    if 'f'\
            'e'\
            'e'\
            'l'\
            'i'\
            'n'\
            'g'\
            == \
            'feeling':
        print("hello")
