If you mean, do I think

put \
"This is part of" &CR& \
"A multi-line string which" &CR& \
"I find much less readable." into temp

is less preferable than

put {{
That's better!
A really readable and short
version that I can deal with.
}} into temp

then, Yes - absolutely.

To be honest, I don't much care whether it's triple-quote (not my favourite), or {{...}}, or <<LABEL, or <<~Label, or ..... Just some way to avoid the ..." &CR&\

And definitely a bonus to have a way to keep indentation nice (as in Ruby's squiggly heredoc).

So you don't like &CR& ?
Always make me think of K&R - and brings me out in a cold sweat :-)

While we (i.e. you) are thinking about string delimiters, could we PLEASE
have some decent way to do multi-line strings.

Yes, please.


Whether it's like Python's triple-quote

No, please.
