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

I’m confused now. The error is coming from the middle of the string after it exceeds the character limit. Can we fix this? If it’s possible to turn on longer than 255 char multiline strings locally that’s going to be a problem for existing code because H+ is global for the unit it appears.
