I would probably do it this way.

y = f(11, 22, x=1, y='y for f') \
* g( *args_from_somewhere,
x='x for g',
y='y for g',
foo=lambda: return 'foo for g' )

I tend to put the opperators on the left for continued lines. It's
nice visual que to whats happening.

if (a==1
or b==2
or c==3):
x = ( 1.333333333333
+ the_last_value_i_needed
+ the_first_value_i_started_with
+ another_long_name_for_something )

This subject really hasn't been a problem for me. So I really don't
see the point of adding a new syntax.

And this works on the def side.

def f( first,
second,
x=0,
y='' ):
#
# rest of body
#

So is this new syntax just a way to keep the '()'s closer together?

Cheers,
