My code used to assign Hollerith to Real numbers but I ripped that out

Fortran was the first programming language I learned (from the Anna Burke
Harris book). The only kind of string literals I can remember in that
first learning were Hollerith literals. I liked the fact that they were
unambiguous: because length was explicit up front, you could any
characters you liked in them.

Later I discovered that “normal” people preferred explicitly-delimited
string literals.
