Strings

Pure quotes, rich quotes, and interpolation. String + is unavailable.

Two kinds

'…' is pure: no escapes, no interpolation, no interior single quote. "…" is rich: locked escapes \n \t \r \\ \" \{ \} \xHH plus {name} interpolation. Anything else is lex-escape.

Building strings

String + is unavailable. Build text with rich strings. == compares content.
