I'd like to propose that unadorned string literals instead have the type

the current behavior one would write "Hello world"/_. This is slightly
inconsistent with vectors, but string literals are special anyway in C
and C++. This will make almost all the ~" punctuation-diphthongs that
are peppered throughout Rust code go away.
Thoughts?
A few:
- "doh!"
- "yes, of course"
- so _that_ is why [] and "" should have type foo& not foo/_
- i.e. we should make [] evaluate to &[] too, and choose its
lifetime by analysis of the arguments; this merges with the
bug for constant vectors
Good catch.
