Note that I do not advocate adopting ES4 syntax. My point is that in many cases where multiline strings are desirable from readability point of view E4X already offers a solution mitigating the need for yet another multiline syntax. As regarding the need to escape & and <, the last time I have used the E4X "multiline strings" was to ebbed JSON literals for testing purposes (which I have found rather funny). Those literals typically do not include & and <.
