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

[J. Gareth Moreton]

I'm a bit late to the party again, but the example of an OpenGL shader 
has won me over, since game design is one thing I enjoy doing.  I guess 
I'm still a bit unsure how leading and trailing whitespace should be 
handled, but as long as it's well-documented, I think I'll be happy!

Speaking of shaders, I would request the {$INCLUDESTRINGFILE} thing 
alongside it, because things like shaders are programs in themselves and 
may have to be tested in a third-party application, so including the 
file directly rather than copying and pasting its contents would be much 
safer if changes need to be made.

P.S. Granted, depending on how secure I want to be, I may still have the 
shader stored in an external file that's loaded at run-time, possibly in 
an encrypted archive (mostly to help make wall hacks etc. harder to 
develop), but that's just me.
