Summary: multi-line print statement
Initial Comment:
Similar to the multi-line comment block suggestion,
instead of using \ to say the line continues use
print:
<indent>"line 1"
<indent>"line 2"
...
<indent>"line n"
Ok, then...thanks

Well, what I was thinking about was more for when you have
a large block of text to display, likely with no variables
to be evaluated. So, your example, using raise and for,
would not raise an exception nor begin a for loop inside a
print: block, rather, they would print stdout, i.e.,
print:
"foo"
raise "Done"
would display
fooraise Done
print:
foo\n
raise Done
would display
foo
raise Done
The use of quotation marks, would likely be superfluous.
I'm not sure how you could cleanly introduce variable
evaluation into this type of print block. Mostly, I was
just interested in being able to put several lines of text
into one print block, as opposed to using \ or several
print statements.
Thanks

Can you specify more precisely how this feature would work?
E.g. would it be legal to write
print:
"foo"
raise "Done"
or
print:
for i in range(10):
"bar"
If so, what would be the meaning of the latter one?
