When choosing a delimiter for Quote and Quote like Operators I:
- use a pair of delimiters {} () <> [] as often as possible
- use / when it's a regex
- just avoid # and it's fine
- choose whatever's not present in my string
- carefully select a delimiter that makes my OBFU even more confusing
- only use \ because I hate you
- delimit strings with my bare hands
- don't use quote-like operators
- follow several rules to increase clarity, consistency and maintanability
and my pay-check - start complaining; stop expecting me to make a decision and Do What I Mean already!
