string literal info API

Request: API to access string literal information

I know it took some time to implement parser for triple quote, so it would be great if python.el provides APIs then other libraries can use the information. The API I have in mind is something that returns values bound in let* clause in python-fill-string. For example, how about a function called python-string-info to return a plist like this (so that you can easily destcut it by destructuring-bind):

(:start INT
 :end INT
 :num-quotes INT
 :quote-str STR ; " or '
 :multi-line-p BOOL
 :docstring-p BOOL)

or probably a defstruct object. High-level API functions such as python-triple-string-p and python-docstring-p would be useful too.
