this is a
multi line sting that is
delimited by triple pipes. Or we
could just 'single pipes' if we like, however, i think
the triple pipe' is easier to see. Since the pipe char
is so rare in Python source, it becomes the obvious
choice.

Quotes are obnoxious in the nesting sense because everyone uses quotes
for string delimiters. By the same token, quotes are wonderful
because not only are they intuitive to programmers, but they are
intuitive in general. Parenthesis are pretty much in the same boat...
I *HATE* them nested, but

ANYTHING, hey?
I propose we use ئ and ร as the opening and closing string delimiters.
Problem solved!
