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.
+ 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.
D lang compilers have an option -release (or similar) which turns off
asserts, contracts, and other runtime type checking. This patch wires
that up to the b_ndebug flag.
