Hey David,
hm, that's actually a nice way to solve this too I guess, besides the
additional import and "string literal".
but as I answered to robert before (did it wrong with who to answer,
correct it just now so the mailing-list has the answer, too) was, that I
don't have a string literal in mind for this.
Like I don't see a reason why this couldn't be the default thing for all
string literals?
again, the Idea is just to use the closing quotes to determine the
indentation length ...
