Description
For example:
# for a detailed explanation of the history of this prefix see:
# https://github.com/bbatsov/some-really-really-really-really-really-really-longer-than-80-chars-url
name_prefix = "SDF_"
In code, we have multiple methods to split up a long literal string across lines while respecting the 80 character limit.
Is there a solution in this case? If not, does the style guide have a recommendation?
