A single line form is also supported. It starts with a minimum of three `"""` characters (but no maximum), the content of the string (which cannot contain any `new_line` characters), and then ends with the same number of quotes that the literal started with. For example:
```
var xml = """<summary><element attr="content"/></summary>""";
```
## Motivation
C# lacks a general way to create simple string literals that can contain effectively any arbitrary text. All C# string literal forms today need some form of escaping in case the contents use some special character (always if a delimiter is used). This prevents easily having literals containing other languages in them (for example, an XML, HTML or JSON literal).
