- What is your evaluation of the proposal?

My brain has already switched! 🎉

```diff
-let json = """
- { "name": "foo" }
- """
-let json = "{ \"name\": \"foo\" }"
+let json = #"{ "name": "foo" }"#

```

Ruby scripts that use `DATA` and ` __END__ ` are also a target.

- Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to Swift?

The proposal says it better than I could.

- Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?

Yes, thanks for the much welcomed support for interpolation. The pound sign clashes a little bit with the domain of compiler directives, but if eminent grammarians are ok, I'm ok, too.

- If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?

Very good

- How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick reading, or an in-depth study?

I followed the very long process that ended with this proposal.
