Frankly, to me, the big win would actually not be multiline literals, but would be escaped String literals. I'm sick of writing all of my regexps with twice as many \ characters as they need.

In this case, why not allow regexps to be written literally in source
code? As is done in many other languages. Although, this change would
couple the regexp API with the language. But maybe here, the benefit
might be worth the costs.
