Dropped: XML Literals

XML Literals are still supported, but will be dropped in the near future, to be replaced with XML string interpolation:

import dotty.xml.interpolator.*  case class Person(name: String) { override def toString = name }  @main def test: Unit =  val bill = Person("Bill")  val john = Person("John")  val mike = Person("Mike")  val todoList = List(  (bill, john, "Meeting", "Room 203, 11:00am"),  (john, mike, "Holiday", "March 22-24")  )  // XML literals (to be dropped)  val mails1 = for (from, to, heading, body) <- todoList yield  <message>  <from>{from}</from><to>{to}</to>  <heading>{heading}</heading><body>{body}</body>  </message>  println(mails1)  // XML string interpolation  val mails2 = for (from, to, heading, body) <- todoList yield xml"""  <message>  <from>${from}</from><to>${to}</to>  <heading>${heading}</heading><body>${body}</body>  </message>"""  println(mails2)
