oh I re-read the first email and see its implemented differently.

I’ve been using multi lines strings in Swift for my day job for a few years
now and got used to the “”” style which include indentation too and I’ve
had no complaints. Since whitespace is important to multiline strings
having the compiler enforce indentation rules makes sense to me.

Personally I’ll be using the ‘’’ variant so I don’t need to change syntax
definitions in Sublime Text + VSCode and how many others that I may come
across.
