Its a tidier and more consistent implementation of what ultimately ends up being a convoluted collection of characters.</div><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?<br class=""></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote>Some experience with C++ and lots of experience with Swift 1, 2 and Obj-C Strings.
