I have no need to push the here-string generalization issue into the
SRFI process, unless there's interest from other editors. I raised it
partly because it can be a useful feature, but also because if we're
going to borrow syntax from shell languages and Perl, we should at least
make an active choice if we're not going to implement their full
functionality.
