[swift-evolution] [Idea] Trailing Multi-Line String Literal

[David Hart]

Personally, I have never felt that need.

Trailing closures fill of need of making Swift a good candidate for building DSLs, where they make the function calls look more like first-class operations. But I don’t think that trailing strings would be as useful.
