thank god PHP doesn't have qq// and q//, it's one of the few things I
can't stand in Perl (along with the 100 different ways of calling the
same variable (@var, $var, %var, etc.). Just use a standard delimiter
with standard, normal, quotes. It's really not that hard.

qq = double quote interpolation
q = single quote (no interpolation)
the delimiteer "/" can be any character you'd like.
or, like stated previously, use a heredoc. or smarty-template engine.

Because then you need to escape the closing character anyway, to have
it as data, so what did you just gain, really?
Not to mention that all the "good" matching possible delimiters are
already taken for Arrays, code blocks, tag start/end, and order of
operations.
