We should support multiline strings, possibly both by backslashing escapes and with Python-style triple-quoted strings.

    Strings can already span multiple lines. rustc does this in driver::usage().

    Well, what I mean is that we should be able to make new lines by putting \ at the end of the line and having it eat the newline (and possibly all the whitespace following it).
