Why should they always be required? If your multiline string is shorter than
256 characters then all is well.
And otherwise you'd have the same problem with an ordinary string constant.
So this behaves exactly as expected and desired.
Sure, but I suspect majority of strings will be longer than 255. I guess this
isn’t just multi-line string related but how do I declare a string constant
that doesn’t then change “string” in the entire unit? I tried the typed
constant but that doesn’t seem to work (got Illegal expression).
I didn't get an Illegal Expression error (maybe that's still a problem
of the multi line string support? I tested with a normal string), but
the compiler nevertheless concatenates the string.
So in essence: if you want long string constants use $H+ mode.
