To align, or not to align?

[Brian Goetz]

I think you may have misunderstood my framing of the question. I don't 
want to have a philosophical debate; I'm saying, that we're _already_ in 
elephant-land, in that different parties are coming with their own 
implicit, fuzzy ideas of what a string literal is (or is supposed to 
be).  And by making the potential assumptions explicit, we have a better 
chance of getting past arguments that involve things like "but an 
elephant is like a tree."
