[Haskell-cafe] multiline strings editor for emacs

[Bryan Richter]

That's a great idea! I love "not very smart" tools like that one.

I don't know (yet) how HLS works, but is it possible to build something
like that into it so it would be more accessible to people? (Asking the
Cafe in general.)  It might provide less pressure to change Haskell syntax,
i.e. https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/569...
