Fine enough. But I wonder why strings have to use the same delimiter. Imagine if you had a list delimiter `|` and the answer to nested lists was “ohh, use raw list syntax, just make `###||` when you are three levels deep or something”.

It is quite nice what `sed` does. A sed search-and-replace is typically shown as `s/foo/bar/`, but you can actually use any punctuation character to separate the parts. Whatever follows the "s" will be used for that statement, so you can write `s|foo|bar|` or `s:foo:bar:`, even mixing and matching in the same script to have `s|baz|quux|; s:xyzzy:blorp:` and it will all work.

On the third hand strings are of course a special case because you always have special characters and whatnot which makes raw strings useful. :) Not just doing `"` and stuff.
