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

I am also against this, but on the other hand, we could extend 
{$I}/{$INCLUDE} directive to include file as a string.

E.g:
const
   SomeString = {$INCLUDESTR filename.txt};
var
   S: String = {$INCLUDESTR filename.txt};
begin
   S := {$INCLUDESTR filename.txt};
...

or even:

S := 'blah' + {$INCLUDESTR filename.txt} + 'blah';
