This is the idea david:

Why in the constant string we use the tag and we do not use the tag in the BODY?

In other wrods, why we write it $BODY$ and does not write it as $q$BODY$q$ or as $$BODY$$?

Also why in the single-quote syntax, each backslash will be written as four backslashes? While this will not be needed
inthe dolar-quoted string? 

Regards
Bilal
