I find myself in many situations where multi-line strings would make my code so much more readable. I do a lot of database work and having a multi-line string for defining queries would be great. I used to put my queries in custom props (easier to read/modify) but I’m finding now that I’d rather have the definitions in script-only stacks and get them under source control. However, the current method of appending multi-line strings together makes the code difficult to work with and read. So I’ll +1 this request. I’d lean toward the triple-quote syntax for implementation.
