I think it would have made more sense to just have a continuation character then you could use comments.
Normally continuation characters will continue the string with nothing after the continuation character, so for example
sequence email = " \ Hello World, \ \ What are you doing?" puts(1, email)
would print "Hello World,What are you doing?" not
Hello World, What are you doing?
Also, the multi-line strings are also raw strings, meaning there are no escape characters. If you write:
sequence email = `Hello\tWorld` puts(1, email)
You will get exactly that
Hello\tWorld
Thus, it's nice for different operations. If you wish to document a string mid way, we can do that already:
sequence abc = "" & -- header "John Doe had a dog." & -- sentence 1 "Jane Doe had a cat." & -- sentence 2 "John's dog chased Jane's cat all the time"
