After some significant tweaks, reopening the JEP for review. https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8222530 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8222530>
The most significant change is the renaming to Text Blocks (I'm sure it will devolve over time Text Literals or just Texts.) This is primarily to reflect the two-dimensionality of the new literal, whereas String literals are one-dimensional. Comment back here.
