Misses comments within multi-line strings and comments

[plinss]

A comment inside a multiline string isn't really as a comment, it's just part of the string. I'm somewhat surprised flake8 respects the # noqa inside the string, and I consider that a bug in flake8.

You can put a # noqa comment after a multiline string and both flake8 and flake8-noqa treat it as covering the entire string.

e.g.

x = """
   Culpa est debitis quae et qui rerum. Deserunt unde et id ut voluptatum labore ut voluptate.
"""  # noqa

works as expected.

Huh, thanks for the tip about putting the comment after the string -- that didn't occur to me.

It's not clear to me what that right solution is here. Obviously having such comments within multi-line strings is somewhat unlikely (and potentially undesirable) and users may not want (or be able) to modify their strings to add the relevant codes.

Given that and my unusual use case (code within the strings) this may be something that's better just documented as a limitation/known behaviour rather than actually changing?
