[Advice... I'm new at this... be patient]

Isn't it "%q" ?

I couldn't figure out a "need" of this that wouldn't fit something like...

holding_var = %q(string i do not want to be created again and again,
and i do not want to define it as a constant because it is used once
in a code)

5.times { puts "holding_var = #{holding_var} and its object_id is
#{holding_var.object_id}" }

If the string is short, you could even use a var name that ressembles
the string.

created_once = "created_once"

Could you show an example? ("used once in a code" vs. "created again and again")
