We should not have any doubts about this point. Quasis mean
almost-verbatim, including literal unescaped newlines and *all* spaces.
Mike, will you update the wiki?
Thanks for bringing this up, Luke.

+1.
Some IDEs provide mechanisms that automatically strip whitespace on
save, but I think those will have to change for ES.next anyway.

"""
For javascript got to 'save actions' select "Perform the selected
actions on save"
Check "Additional Actions" and click on configure.
choose the "code organizing" tab
Check "Remove trailing whitespace"
This will remove trailing white space from all lines every time you
save. You can optionally ignore empty lines.

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.
Luke
