Hi guys, I am, and also my English is, at my most limit fighting in this 
conversation. ;-)

I would not support, v1 v2 and v3 at all and would wish these options to be 
completely banned for a nice and simple model, even if all of the options can 
be implemented and might look OKAY for some specific examples. IMHO these mixed 
options overcomplicating the model.

I’d love to see the authors revision the proposal tackling the simple model I 
initially pushed forward, where I revised my personal opinion about the last 
content line, but most of you felt comfortable with.

Single-line expression.
Multi-line expression with no text directly after/before the delimiters (not 
even a backslash like """\).
Each line adds a new line (multi-line).
Disabling with the backslash.
Emitting a warning when trailing whitespaces are present but no \ is found at 
the end of the same line. + Fix-it with \n\
Not sure about the indent algorithm (I prefer the calculation of the prefix).
I also would be pleased when the authors could put the model I would prefer in 
the alternative section, so that the majority and the core team could have the 
chance to decide for the better one during the next review run.

Thanks to everyone for tackling the topic forward. ;)

Here is another example:

case .isExprSameType(let from, let to):
return """checking a value with optional type \(from) \
  against dynamic type \(to) \
  succeeds whenever the value is non-'nil'; \
  did you mean to use '!= nil'?\
  """


This only works because the lines have been indented by hand to match correctly 
which would not be the case with standard indentation used in a code editor 
which is a fixed multiple of spaces or tabs: the example had to add 2 spaces to 
the 2 tabs in this example to fix the indentation (requiring 8-space-tabs). In 
reality the example would look like follows (assuming 4-space-indentation but 
the problem is the same for other indentations):

case .isExprSameType(let from, let to):
    return """checking a value with optional type \(from) \
        against dynamic type \(to) \
        succeeds whenever the value is non-'nil'; \
        did you mean to use '!= nil'?\
        """

That is perfectly fine too. I don't find this style confusing.  The 2nd, 3rd 
and 4th lines are stripped of their indentation according to the closing 
delimiter. And that is it.

I personally do not find this style confusing at all. 

The confusion arises over the leading newline: why does text directly following 
the opening triple quote have a newline while an empty line after the opening 
triple quote does not have a newline?

I think it is a good thing to have the option to start the line of text 
immediately after the opening delimiter or on the next line.

Regards,
Ricardo
