Arbitrary quotations

While working on html code I realized (for the n-th time) that having just verbatim and non-verbatim strings is way too little. Ruby did it right, so I simply copied proven solution:

let s = %s<<p>quotation counts "parentheses"</p>>;

In the process I reverted the syntax for characters literals back to C#:

let c = 'b';

at the expense of adding backtick as meta switch. In Ada apostrophe serves dual role but I don’t see how to make it in Skila grammar:

••• > ' •••

would be ambiguous (accessing meta information about generic type or comparing characters).
