I would say no to keep single-quotes String literals simple and to better distinguish between single and multiline syntaxes. Otherwise, the only difference between the two would be that one allows single and double quotes without escaping. Therefore, we should try to make triple-quotes String literals support single-line-result strings split over multiple lines of code. > -- > Brent Royal-Gordon > Architechies > > _______________________________________________ > swift-evolution mailing list > swift-evolution@swift.org > https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
