String literal

Syntax

"shockscript"

Triple string literals span multiple lines and are indentation-aware:

"""
    shockscript, nicely beauty
    scripting.
""" == "shockscript, nicely beauty\nscripting."

Semantics

A string literal may be assigned to a simple enumeration at compile-time, matching a variant’s string; therefore returning a value whose static type is that enumeration.

A string literal may be assigned to int, uint, byte (ASCII) or the Number union, resulting into the integer value identifying the single Unicode Code Point in the string literal. In that case, it is a verify error if the string literal does not contain exactly one Code Point (which may be an escape sequence itself).
