Delimited strings are useful when writing code/text generators when you
need to be able to use

In Flex, one way you can implement heredocs is to have a separate mode
where the lexer is scanning for the ending string. So basically you
have a sub-lexer that treats the heredoc as

If that had been `something instead of 'something, _then_ the delimited string
becomes useful, but given how rarely backticks are needed, it does seem rather
odd to have delimited strings just for that. So, I definitely have to wonder
why

It's probably so that you can still use characters that require escaping in
the string without having to escape everywhere. WYSIWYGS don't allow

Are we forgetting the fact that using delimited strings allows us to
have syntax highlighting in editors?
E.g.:
void stringParser(string str)()
{
mixin(str);
}
void main()
{
stringParser!(q{
int x = 1;
int y = 2;
writefln(%s %s, x, y);
});
}
This is a huge
