Pull request overview
This PR updates PEP 822 to document the rejection of allowing content immediately after the opening quotes for d-strings, and expands the “Other Languages” comparison section with a Perl reference.
Changes:
- Add Perl’s “Indented Here-documents” as a related feature in other languages.
- Add a new “Rejected Ideas” subsection explaining why “content after opening quotes” was not adopted.
