## q/string/

    q/string/
    qq/string/
    qx/string/
    qw/strings/

Generalized forms of quoting. `q//` is equivalent to using single quotes (literal, no variable interpolation). `qq//` is equivalent to double quotes (literal, interpolated). `qx//` is equivalent to using backticks for commands (interpolated). And `qw//` is equivalent to splitting a single-quoted string on whitespace.
