	Which would get a NO vote from me, as I routinely line up operators
on the left

	x = firstpart * secondpart
		+ anotherpart
		+ stillanother

especially when grouping by operator precedence

	x = (a * b	#parens to make 
		+ x / y	#valid python
		+ m**n)	

	Besides, that trailing operator can visually become lost in the
clutter of comments on the same line... Compare that sample to

	x = (a * b +	#parens to make valid python
		x / y +	#valid python
		m**n)
