This might be beyond the current state of template strings but wouldn't it
be nice if there was a delimiter character we can use to depict the
beginning of each line of a multiline string? A similar solution like Scala
multliline strings but without `stripMargin` method at the end.

Absolutely. The trick with design, to paraphrase N. Wirth, is leaving
things out.

Hi guys.
Notice we are dealing with literals and I would want to keep the strings as
literal as possible so I think this is a syntax issue as the programmatic
solution like regexp substitution is always available.
My proposal:
var s = `This is a multiline
string. It keeps literal unless

I know. I didn't see this functionality as a tag, though, but rather as a
flag for the client. Having this functionality available as a tag has some
consequences. See below.

Hi everyone,
It's great to finally play around with template strings after noticing them
in the latest Firefox nightly. However, I can't help but think we're
repeating mistakes of the past when it comes to multiline strings and code
tidiness.
Back when I had to write PHP code I used to feel sad
would anything like this work already for you ?
```js
function myFunction () {
var a = (`This is a template string.
Even though each line is indented to keep the
code neat and tidy, the white space used to indent

You can create a really flexible dedent function/tag pretty easily:

I would also hope that the trailing indentions will be cut off from the
template string. We had the case in our template engine, multiline strings
are supported and it behaives as follows:
- first line: contains a non-whitespace character → take the complete
string as is and exit, otherwise:

Allen's is pretty clever and I'd be almost tempted to use it ;-)
