This is great except for the enforcement of double-quotes around all strings and spaces around slice operators. These two choices contradict the standard Python documentation, most of the standard library, and the behaviour of the interpreter itself.
When the language itself has an established convention, Black should follow that convention, not fight it. These two weird choices just generate needless churn, which is surprising as it seems Black has quite the opposite goal.
It's a shame, because all the other design choices in Black are pretty good!
