Take a large pascal file with several strings. Normal, non multi-line

Now, as a thought experiment, remove the closing ' from one of the

In the case of no multiline string support: error on the line with
the
missing closing string comment.
That's not even how it works, though. Absolutely nothing is changed
about the behaviour of "normal" single-line single-quote strings in
the (again, working!) implementation I have of this.
Multiline strings are explicitly and only opened / closed used
*backticks*.
New magic characters in the scanner. Yeah. Really nice (NOT!)
Everything about the feature is far more simple than you seem to think
it is (which is a big part of why I was able to make it work so quickly.)
Anyway, do you miss imagination or so?
const
singleline = ' accidentally not terminated;
// lots of lines
singleline2 = ' `this is a legal string with backticks`';
