Readability.

auto s = "This is 'something' that \"could\" have been made easier to read";

auto t = q"[This is 'something' that "could" have been made easier to 
read]";

(although I don't like that you have to type two chars after the q. In 
ruby you'd write

%q(This is 'something' that "could have been made easier to read)

)
