If a keeping syntax simple and singular is the goal, the reader macro could use
the proposed #s{ ... } form, while supporting balanced braces in the verbatim
text. The text literal would close when the number of closing braces matches
the number of opening braces. Strings containing unmatched braces still
wouldn't work, but this would eliminate the most obvious use case
counterargument: the inclusion of (well-formed) source code.
#s{...} ; sure!
#s{{...}{{{{}}}} ... } ; just fine!
#s{.{..} ; no can do...
Not nearly as flexible as some other ideas mentioned, but deserving of mention.
