Dear Committee, Brandon has proposed an amendment to his previous multiline string proposal. https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/637 The change is to strip one trailing newline from the lexed string, meaning that a multiline string like """ hello world """ would actually lex as "hello\nworld". He makes a compelling case that this behavior is more compositional. I recommend acceptance. This is a tiny change, so I'll give us a week for review and will declare the amendment accepted next weekend barring any objections. Eric On Tue, Jul 16, 2024, at 02:19, Adam Gundry wrote:
Dear Committee,
Brandon Chinn proposes to amend the multiline string literal proposal #569 to remove one trailing newline:
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/637
I'd like to nominate Eric Seidel as the shepherd, since he was the shepherd of #569.
Please guide us to a conclusion as outlined in https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals#committee-process
Cheers,
Adam
