[Feature Request] add multiline string #529

Overall experience with the language

Hey! Hope you're doing well

I've had really fun time playing the your programming language and it seems AMAZING so far! The best part I've had with language was its documentations and the code formatter (i.e. both replacing glyphs, coloring function/modifier by number of arguments, and replacing the ## with output)

Feature Description

I'm doing Advent of Code in Uiua and what I really miss for quick testing is that, it does not support multi line strings and putting \n at the end of line really bothers readability:

# Ahhh
"1 2 3\n4 5 6\n7 8 9"
# why not?
"""
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
"""

Oh it seems I didn't notice this feature exists already, sorry
