I don’t think it’s a good idea to add optionally character before the closing 
delimiter, because it could confuse the reader of the code on how exactly the 
actual string lines above will be stripped.

My personal vision remains as the following example:

// 1)
"""
Line_1
Line_2
"""

// result for 1)
"Line_1\nLine_2"

// 2)
"""

Line_1
Line_2
"""

// result for 2)
"\nLine_1\nLine_2"

// 3)
"""
Line_1
Line_2

"""

// result for 3)
"Line_1\nLine_2\n"

// 4)
"""

Line_1
Line_2

"""

// result for 4)
"\nLine_1\nLine_2\n"
This is the natural approach, alternatively you’re free to use directly \n 
instead a blank line.

Was the / intended or did you meant to write \?

Personally I don’t think we’d need that behavior and can fallback to the 
natural way using a blank lines or explicit way using the \n character to solve 
that issue at the top or bottom of the multi-line string. The model I’m pushing 
already would support “paste-in block of text as-is”. :)

Hah, oops, yeah. Although maybe the "/" would be better for the closing """, 
since that one affects whether the preceding "\n" character is escaped.
