Re: Fetch string from comment

For the past 30 years, I got by with having .~ in addition to ." .
The word .~ does the same ." but uses `~` as its delimiter.
Most of my uses are served by judicious switching between ."
and .~ .
I am not a fan of S\" TYPE as it tends to move the parsing and
interpretation problems to parts of the code / library that may
not be prepared for it, or where it would be quite an overhead
to anticipate every present and future possibility. For instance,
having a backspace in a string has no obvious meaning in most
of the system code, and an application can simply redefine BS
to have it do what is necessary.
