String literals can span multiple lines. One way is using triple-quotes:
``"""..."""`` or ``'''...'''``. End of lines are automatically

the end of the line. In the following example, the initial newline is not

-h Display this usage message
-H hostname Hostname to connect to
""")

Usage: thingy [OPTIONS]
-h Display this usage message
-H hostname Hostname to connect to
