#2859 — 11.8.4 String Literals: disallowed literals


Can this:

"All characters may appear literally in a string literal except for the closing quote character, backslash, carriage return, line separator, paragraph separator, and line feed"

Be written as:


"All characters may appear literally in a string literal except for the closing quote character, backslash or any _LineTerminator_"



LineTerminator defines the same list of characters.


This seems less important than I thought it was a few minutes ago. The grammar itself is already defined with LineTerminator
