On the other hand, I'm a little worried that this doesn't have support for raw strings. That is, even with this, there will still be some users who reach for quasiquotes for multi-line strings, if those strings contain backslashes.

I had a similar thought at first, but I think raw strings can be added independently of this proposal. So long as we are not closing the door to a future addition I think it is fine to take incremental steps.
