I'm considering proposing a feature called "Datafile String Literals":

A datafile string literal of the form:

    D"foo"

is "conceptually" equivalent to the following:

    R"delim(
    #include "foo"
    )delim"

Where delim is some sequence of characters that does not appear in the file
foo, and the #include preprocessing directive is sequenced before the raw
file string is interpreted. (and of course there is no leading or trailing
newline added).

That is, D"foo" is a string literal that contains the contents (verbatim)
of the data file foo.  The usual #include lookup rules are using to find
the file foo.

Thoughts?  Interest?
