Quote-doubling is a mechanism which should be used ONLY for raw strings.
But there would be two quoting mechanisms in the *language*, and you would have to remember which type of string used which.
This would be consistent with C#, REXX, and Slick-C. It's very natural to me.
But *un*-natural to anyone not familiar with those languages, and confusing to anyone expecting consistency between one kind of string and another within the same language. -- Greg Ewing, Computer Science Dept, +--------------------------------------+ University of Canterbury, | Carpe post meridiem! | Christchurch, New Zealand | (I'm not a morning person.) | greg.ewing@canterbury.ac.nz +--------------------------------------+
