[swift-evolution] multi-line string literals.

[Vladimir.S]

Probably the subject of this proposal(thread) should be changed to 
something like "multi-line string literals with escaping of special chars 
and interpolation support"
,as I believe many of us thinks about multi-line strings in source as 
feature that allows us to have text *as-is*, without escaped characters, 
without interpolation, in situations when the text contains a lot of \  \\ 
\"  "  \(  \t   etc..

Probably someone can start new thread "multi-line strings with text as-is, 
without escaping" - so it will be discussed separately from current suggestion.
