Re: [Feature Request] Adding option to support triple quotes

[Aryn Starr <whereislelouch@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The tripe single quotes can have single quotes in them, and the triple double quotes can have double quotes.
It’s useful for normal English interpolation:
“””I’m going to kill process “${some_process}.”
     Proceed? (Y/n)”””
It’s useful for regexes:
[[ “$sth” =~ ‘’’ “\w+”=‘?(\d+)’? ‘’’ ]]
It’s useful for putting code in strings, which is extremely useful for macros, code generators, evaling code of other languages (node -e, python -c, etc):
“”” $var_name=“\$$var_value”
“””

There are quite a few “...”’”’”...” and the like already in my code, and they are make the code unreadable and ugly.
