Multiline strings in JavaScript

Because a compile step is annoying when it's not strictly needed. In the browser you usually have some kind of build system for concatenation and minifying anyways.

With coffeescript, at least, there is no extra compile step from the user's point of view. You can run `coffee myapp.coffee` in the same way you would run `node myapp.js`
