Works even better in D because it can run at compile time.
Yes, I see no need for a language feature what can be easily and far
more flexibly done with a regular function - especially since what |q{
and -q{ do gives no clue from the syntax.
Unfortunately it doesn't work for the other multiline syntax:
void main()
{
auto a = q"FOO
int b = 3;
FOO";
}
The above fails to compile [1]. The trailing FOO cannot be indented.
This works:
void main()
{
auto a = q"FOO
int b = 3;
FOO";
}
Which in my opinion doesn't look as good as the first example. It gets
worse if "a" is indented even more, because it's nested in a class, in a
method, in an if statement and so on.
