mformat: A triple string with a ' in it cannot be simplified
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The following is valid meson:
```meson
a = '''This string can't be simplified'''
```
which cannot be simplified because of the `'` in it, as
```meson
a = 'This string can't be simplified'
```
Is invalid.

Potentially we could convert that with escapes, but it seems reasonable
to me to leave this, since it may be desirable to not have lots of
escapes in a string. `'''I can't believe it's her's!'''` is much more
readable than `'I can\'t believe it\'s her\'s!'`, for example.

Closes: mesonbuild#13564
