One of the valuable use cases for quasis that we've discussed is multi-line string literals. It was just pointed out to me that the current proposal page mentions an open issue which calls into question multi-line string literals and the exact semantics of them. This is in http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:quasis "Line Continuation and Line Terminators".
The concern raised there is about trailing whitespace at the end of lines, and in particular issues related to source control and end-of-line escapes. My feeling is that: a) Multi-line string literals are important and should be supported in quasis. b) Trailing whitespace should be allowed and preserved. It is a useful for quasis to be "as literal as possible". This came up in side conversation at the TC39 meeting today - wanted to send mail to see if the open issue can be resolved.
