first, you'll need a way to flag that something is an arbitrarily
quoted string; 'r' is taken, so let's use 'q'. next, you need to
distinguish strings from variables, perhaps by adding a flag to all
variables; $ should do nicely and has some historical precident. once
you've done all that, you can write something like this:
$q = q|this so-called "string" doesn't use conventional quotes|
congratulations! you've just invented perl!
