OTOH, adding another string prefix means doubling the total number of prefix combinations. The potential for this getting out of hand was the primary reason that string templates were implemented as a library function instead of as a string prefix. Personally, I'm not convinced that string literals need to change in any way. Dedentation should be handled (is handled?!) in the stdlib. -Barry
