I considered it at first.
But we (at the meeting) abondoned it because
we want to use escape sequences, such as \n, in immutable strings.

I wrote this concern in [ruby-core:57574] as follows.

| Note that the directive effects all static string literals regardless of
| single quotes, double quotes, %q-string, %qq-string and here documents.
| The reason that the directive is effective not only single quotes is
| we want to use escape sequences such as \n in frozen string literals.
