ASCII and Unicode quotation marks

Ruby lets you use arbitrary tokens for string literals with %s{} (where the braces can be a bunch of things). I wish more languages would adopt this tbh.

C++11 has this feature too [1], e.g.:

    const char * str = R"*^*(This is string containing an embedded "quoted" string)*^*";

Apache Groovy also had that in its early 1.0 betas but they were removed before their official 1.0 release party.
