q"" delimited strings. No one uses them (used once in all of Phobos).
They are obscure and add some complexity to lexing D.
They don't have a high complexity though, and that's the point. The
amount of code in the compiler to support them is trivial.
They add complexity to tools such as ctags (written in C, the fishman
fork supports D but not D-specific strings).
