Also:

Just so nobody gets confused, if you want to test the feature, do not
actually try to use the {$modeswitch multilinestrings}, as it does not
exist *yet*.

Ryan's example in this case is what it *will* look like overall though, and
it *does* compile as written, currently, if the line with the modeswitch is
removed.
