[stringtemplate-interest] "".."" won't work

[Udo Borkowski]

Following this thread makes me think if extending the syntax through new template delimiters ("", """, <% or whatsoever) is really a good idea. 

I assume we run into less problems (conflict with old syntax, escape issues etc.) with just sticking to the old ones ("…"  and <<…>>) and just add the optional "[…]" template prefix, as already suggested earlier.

t() ::= […]<<
