This is the idea david: Why in the constant string we use the tag and we do not use the tag in the BODY? In other wrods, why we write it $BODY$ and does not write it as $q$BODY$q$ or as $$BODY$$? Also why in the single-quote syntax, each backslash will be written as four backslashes? While this will not be needed in the dolar-quoted string?
