One more question in this general regard... what would be the most
desirable way for the compiler to handle the appearance of a single
apostrophe inside a multi-line string?

Of course, it should not terminate it because it's not a backtick. So
should it be accepted as a normal character the same way a backtick is
accepted within a single-line string? Or should it give some more specific
error?
