Pretty cool. Especially as a way of generalizing things like regexp or multi-line strings. A DEP sounds fine, but this change would probably impact macro expansion/compilation order, and that area has that other issue (https://github.com/dylan-lang/opendylan/issues/112) that should probably get fixed before tackling further changes, lest we dig ourselves a deeper hole.
