Hi all,
Groovy regex literal allows new lines, i.e. 0D0A, which introduces
some ambiguity and breaks consistency in syntax. Let's have a look at some
examples:
1) Ambiguity example:
```
m /ab
c/ d
```
This can be parsed as a command chain expression or parsed as two arithmetic
expressions.
2) Consistency breaking in syntax
Single line:
'abc'
"abc"
Multiple lines:
'''
abc
'''
"""
abc
"""
/
abc
/
$/
abc
/$
As you can see, both two version of regex literal can span multiple
lines...
I propose to forbidden new lines in one version of regex literal since
Groovy 3.0.0:
Single line:
'abc'
"abc"
/abc/
Multiple lines:
'''
abc
'''
"""
abc
"""
$/
abc
/$
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
