Re: C String Prefix Operator Idea (Was: gfortran diagnostics and so on)

Hello,

Boy, I'm not sure why people are going so far off in the weeds. What I proposed does not alter existing fixed length strings or literals in any way.

AIUI, your proposal altered existing character literals in two ways:
One graphic character had a new meaning; and
The length of the literal is no longer the number of graphic characters
in it.

AIUI, your proposal altered fixed length character strings by allowing
a longer literal to be entirely contained within the string.

Am I so far off in the weeds?
