I'm with Michael here: I see no *need* for a separate syntax for a
multi line string.
I don't really think the suggested backtick way is different enough
from anything that exists to be considered a "separate syntax",
though. It's the exact same thing, with a one-character difference at
the opening and close of the string.
As far as the compiler is concerned it definitely *is* a separate
syntax. It's a completely new token that didn't exist before with new
code inside the parser. Don't try to sugarcoat it because the difference
between an apostrophe and a backtick is optically that small.

Sven
