Raw strings starting/ending with backtick

[Attila Kelemen]

Thanks for all the answers. I was just a little curious if I missed
something and there is nice syntax for this as well. Not that I could come
up with something brilliant, only if Java was a brand new language, then 3
"quote" types would solve all the issues (and escaping would be completely
useless). Obviously, this is not really an option here.
