Proposal: support multi-line string text when assign a string variable

[1114 (杨晖)]

hi, everyone,

when I have a long text string to assign a string variable, including
<http://www.baidu.com/link?url=NInXMacmUshIkK_HfkkFQmpygHwtCmzRnK8FcjFbBnQxXyk3dt9fROTuWYT66p_RY-f_tK4I_ejW-OPCGLyjKOu8kP8dM4DPDL-PcloSDIS&gt;line
break character, I can’t do it like this in playground:

var str = "abcd
            efg"

but in other languages(for example, PHP), we can do it:

$str = "asdf
                sdfasdf";
var_dump($str);

So can Swift support this feature in next version?

There already exists a long thread (around 100 messages) on how to propose
the best multi-line string literals for Swift.
Please check out "[swift-evolution] multi-line string literals
