[fpc-devel] Some thoughts on multi-line string support, and a possible syntax that I think is perfectly clean and Pascal-ish.

Getting that with "var SomeString: AnsiString = " should be (and is)
impossible at all times.

Getting that with "var SomeString: String = "  only *maybe* should be (but
is regardless) impossible at all times.

Getting that with "const SomeString = " when in {$H-} is expected at all
times.

Getting that with "const SomeString = " when in {$H+} should be (and is)
impossible at all times.

Typed constants / variables and untyped constants are *not* the same thing.
