| `.stripLiteral` strings are not literals, and cannot generate `String & Singleton` types |

typo .stripMargin. Not sure if transparent inline is addressed for current art of Singleton via custom solution.

Just a thought, instead of having a new syntax construct, we can probably have yet another standard string interpolator. Can be macro to deal with the problem at compile time. |

@SimY4 the proposal discusses why a string inteprolator wouldn't work as well. Specifically, it won't compose with other interpolators like |

@lihaoyi on this tho, in terms of what's easier to evolve - a language or a library DSL, I think library is much more flexible in this regard. Libraries can chose to provide DSLs that will deal with margins differently. I did that for my own custom DSLs and it worked pretty great. Users don't have to add strip margin at the end of every string block - it just worked. Over time you can deprecate and phase out the old DSL from the library. You can't phase it out of the language. |
