Consider using parenthesis to avoid backslash line continuation in examples

I'm guessing one of your design goals is beauty and readability. Would it create a nicer first impression to see:

result = (seq(1, 2, 3, 4)
        .map(lambda x: x * 2)
        .filter(lambda x: x > 4)
        .reduce(lambda x, y: x + y)
)

I understand that this is a personal preference so feel free to disagree :)

I actually didn't know that you could do this, but it makes sense. I will definitely update the docs to at least show that trick once (I too agree backslashes are inconvenient). Thanks!
