Change of mind -- David clarified to me in IRC what he meant:

  <glasser> kfogel: it's not triple-quoting in general that's confusing
  <glasser> it's tripple-quoting conflict markers in the first column!
  
  <kfogel> glasser: Oh, I see.
  <kfogel> yes, I agree with you then, didn't think of that
  <kfogel> I have an idea.
  <kfogel> Let's you and me both go edit those files right now,
            simultaneously, and come up with slightly different
            solutions for how to rearrange the text, and then both
            commit around the same time, and see what happens.
  
  <glasser> +1
