Any interest in raw strings?

[Vilya Harvey]

Ah, I had a feeling I might have missed something. It looks like you've
already covered everything I wanted to write up and more! I think multiline
strings would be a useful addition too; it seems a shame that it won't be
included in the Coin changes.

Cheers,
Vil.
