Plus if Chris Lattner has any strong opinions about the behavior of single quotes, which might be the case given the existing code for handling them in Lexer.cpp, backticks are a damn good alternative. I'd still like to wait to hear back from him or someone else on the core team about that one.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">-Travis Tilley</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 11, 2015 at 6:48 PM, Kametrixom Tikara <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kametrixom@icloud.com" target="_blank">kametrixom@icloud.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">I think it can just work like this:<div><br></div><div><div style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo"><font size="1"><span style="color:rgb(53,86,138)">struct</span> Test {</font></div><div style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo"><font size="1"> <span style="color:#35568a">func</span> hi() {</font></div><div style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo"><font size="1"> <span style="color:#35568a">let</span> json =</font></div><div style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo;color:rgb(207,135,36)"><font size="1"><span style="color:#000000"> ``` </span>// Indentation to the left of the back ticks gets erased and nothing more</font></div><div style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo"><font size="1"> {</font></div><div style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo"><font size="1"> <span style="color:#e82300">"Hello"</span>: <span style="color:#35568a">3</span></font></div><div style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo"><font size="1"> }</font></div><div style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo"><font size="1"> ```</font></div><p style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo;min-height:16px"><font size="1"> <br></font></p><div style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo"><font size="1"> <span style="color:#35568a">let</span> str =</font></div><div style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo"><font size="1"> ```</font></div><div style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo;color:rgb(232,35,0)"><font size="1"><span style="color:#000000"> </span>"This is a string"</font></div><div style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo;color:rgb(207,135,36)"><font size="1"><span style="color:#000000"> ``` </span>// Compiler error: Back ticks not aligned</font></div><p style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo;min-height:16px"><font size="1"> <br></font></p><div style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo"><font size="1"> <span style="color:#35568a">let</span> hs =</font></div><div style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo"><font size="1"> ```</font></div><div style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo;color:rgb(207,135,36)"><font size="1"><span style="color:#000000"> main = interact id </span>// Compiler error: too little indentation</font></div><div style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo"><font size="1"> ```</font></div><div style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo"><font size="1"> }</font></div><div style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo"><font size="1">}</font></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo"><br></div><div>By just not supporting more complex indentation erasure, we can avoid potential confusion.</div><div><div class="h5"><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>On 12 Dec 2015, at 00:35, Travis Tilley <<a href="mailto:ttilley@gmail.com" target="_blank">ttilley@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br><div><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Fair enough point.
