i still think this is a lose. the additional parser complexity to
handle unquoted multilines is as near to nil as makes no odds, and
it's _really_ nice being able to just spam multiline values across the
link. as i said before, i'll go for this change if there are a
sizable number of people in favor of it, but i _really_ don't think
that being able to use the MOO reader or cutting a very small branch
out of the BNF really buys us anything against that.
opinions?
