> The second is not a valid string literal now --
That's why I suggested it. ""@" would be a new token, so the statement about '@' in the delims section would remain essentially unchanged.
Hm. You might as well propose @#$% then. :-)
Anyway, the problem with anything inside "string literals" (real or perceived) is that then the parser has to recursively parse the expression in the string literal, because it has to generate code for it. I consider this too perverse to bother.
