Disallow line breaks inside strings #40

Open pasi-paasiala opened 4 years ago

pasi-paasiala commented 4 years ago

Description of the proposal:

It is possible to have line breaks inside strings and those should be ignored in parsing. This makes string parsing quite complicated. If we do #7 and disallow line breaks in strings, parsing of strings becomes trivial.

Additional implications:

- Note that not all points need to be satisfied! Backwards compatibility and file size are not concerns.
