Imagine if FPC had type inference and multi-line strings, neither very
exotic features. The code then becomes:

var query := '''SELECT Customers.CustomerName, Orders.OrderID

ORDER BY Customers.CustomerName;'''
FDQuery1.SQL.Add(query);

Easier to read, easier to edit, no need for a IDE wizard or external tools.
Completely ignoring the type inference which I'm definitely not a fan of
- at least not in Pascal: In my opinion it would be better to improve
and finalize the $IncludeStringFile patch from issue #25536 (
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=25536 ).
Sven,
What stops us from applying the patch ?
It has been in Mantis for ages.
Michael.
