simplify multi-line strings

Current way:
MultiLineString: """
here is line one
here is line two
"""
There's really no need for the triple quotes. Desired:
MultiLineString:
here is line one
here is line two
Complications with this: the parser needs to use a more advanced method of detecting a multi-line string, so that it knows not to fail when those lines don't have a :
in them.
That's what I thought as well when I designed it. Tonight I've finally actually started using files with multi-line strings, and my initial impression is that the triple quotes are annoying noise.
It's also worth noting that you'd still be able to tell for certain that there's a string there, since this is the only scenario in which lines of SUCC do not contain a :
to separate the key from the data.
I'll keep working with these files and see if the triple quotes grow on me.
I've decided I like multi-line strings the way they are.
