PROPOSAL: Multiline strings

[rssh at gradsoft.com.ua]

1. Since we have non-empty discussion, I setup wiki with current proposal
('new string literals instead multiline strings (?)')

 http://redmine.gradsoft.ua/wiki/java7stringliterals
  and will try to track all changes as issues.

Personally I have no any 'pro' and 'consa' at all. I. e. may be it can be
useful in some context, may be not.
(Add some type of voting ?)

 Ohh, With my experience in maintance C++ systems, this is evil.
