I think you may have misunderstood my framing of the question. I don't want to have a philosophical debate; I'm saying, that we're _already_ in elephant-land, in that different parties are coming with their own implicit, fuzzy ideas of what a string literal is (or is supposed to be).  And by making the potential assumptions explicit, we have a better chance of getting past arguments that involve things like "but an elephant is like a tree."

I think that question is so abstract and philosophical as to not be useful. I sent the previous message because I believe it is a better way to frame the issue.
