Block textus literals with embedded quotes and newlines.

# =============================================================================
# block-string — Block textus literals with embedded quotes and newlines.
# =============================================================================
#
# What this teaches:
#   • block string literals with `«...»` — embed quotes and newlines without escaping
#   • multiline content in a single literal value
#
# Common mistakes:
#   • Using triple-quote """...""" or ❝...❞ instead of «...» — block strings use guillemets only.
#
# See also: string, textus

#
# GRAMMAR:
#   blockStringLit :← '«' ... '»'
#
# EXPECTED OUTPUT:
#   he said "salve", line one

main {
    const _ quote ← «he said "salve"»
    print quote

    const _ multiline ← «line one
still line one»
    print multiline.sectio(0, 8)
}

Expected output:

he said "salve"
line one
