In case case of readability: most cases of multi line string constants
are likely to be embedded scripts (shaders, SQL, whatever) and thus the
$INCLUDESTRING directive mentioned in the bug report is much more
useable, because it allows you to view the embedded file in its own
editor together with syntax hightlighting and possibly code completion.
I'm with Michael here: I see no *need* for a separate syntax for a multi
line string. I see however the need for the ability to include multi
line text as a string.
