[sc34wg3] Multiline strings in CTM

[Lars Heuer]

Hi Lars,

This is slightly wrong. In a previous draft, we had have that
difference, but now *both* allow line breaks (due to a request in
Oslo).

The reason to keep the triple quoted strings: It allows to embed XML
easily (you don't have to escape the quotes for the attributes) and to
allow single quotes within triple quoted strings.

   """
   He said "Hello World"
   """

   """<xml here="value"/>
   """

Best regards,
Lars
