Anti-patterns are rarely as absolute as you're making this out to be. Sure, I agree, lots of times it's better to store xml or json literals not in code. But for something three lines long it's perfectly fine, more readable, and trivial. This new proposal makes it elegant to do so, the only issue is that the @"" syntax should never have been used and unfortunately now we are proposing a third string literal syntax. That I don't like.
