[swift-evolution] multi-line string literals.

[Adrian Zubarev]

What I was trying to say is that by automatically adding a new line character does not provide any benefit except of being lazy to type \n.

// In your model this would be equivalent
let s1 = "\n\n\n"
let s2 = """
    " // However in my model this is an empty string and should be banned
    "
    """ // That's also an empty string, but it that case it indicates the end of the multi lined string
I dislike the tradeoff of precision for laziness.

By the way, the multi-line string should allow \n\n, or as many as you may want to throw in there.  I don't see a problem with that.
