But the main question is: do we actually want a multiline string ?
As far as I am concerned, that question needs to be answered first,
and for
me personally the answer to that is still a resounding "no".
Me too. Mostly overrated IMHO, and ugly as sin exception on general
rules.
Also goes for comments, but those have been in for a long time, so
that is a bit moot.
You are aware that Pascal contained multi line comments (both "(* ...
*)" and "{ ... }") before single line comments "// ... " where added?
Though I also don't understand why you think multi line comments are
overrated.
I always get a nasty emotion comparable to nationalism when I see a
feature or formatting style introduced into Pascal just for it to
resemble C! I personally love Pascal's multi-line comments and think
they look quite neat in the source file, but that's just me.
