[swift-evolution] multi-line string literals

[Travis Tilley]

StringLiteralConvertable is more than sufficient for bending string
literals to your will. There's already several libraries that make use of
that, plus custom operators, to implement regular expression literals. Lets
not get too carried away and stick to defining the syntax for the literal
itself... I'm pretty sure the community will amaze us with what happens
afterwards and none of it will require macros.
