Compiled languages are Meson's bread and butter, but hardly required.
This is convenient, because many test caases specifically, do not care
about testing the compiler interactions.
In such cases, we can skip doing compiler lookups which aren't used, as
they only slow down test setup.
"targetting" is verb-derived adjective, which sort-of-works here, but
makes the whole sentence awkward, because there's no verb. Let's just
use present simple.
"tried to use" implies that the attempt was not successful, i.e. that meson
ignored the feature. But that is not what happens, apart from the warning the
feature works just fine. The new message is also shorter ;)
+ Extend the parser to recognize the multiline f-strings, which the
documentation already implies will work.
The syntax is like:
```
x = 'hello'
y = 'world'
msg = f'''This is a multiline string.
Sending a message: '@x@ @y@'
'''
```
which produces:
```
This is a multiline string.
Sending a message: 'hello world'
```
+ Added some f-string tests cases to "62 string arithmetic" to exercise
the new behavior.
