mystring = "Hi Sam. I'm also a multi-line string!\n\z
            except I'm better! I take less bytes to type,\n\z
            and still provide the same newlineness!\n\z
            However, I cannot be used in the REPL, as it doesn't like 
me.\n\z
            This is also nowhere near as nice as Rust's strings.\n\z
            But yes, I do have a github, it's SoniEx2. I don't use it 
anymore, BitBucket is better.\n"
