Super Strings
Thought I'd give this a crack in setting up the search criteria for a btree.extract.
The compiler doesn't like something about one of the lines and I can't distinguish the difference.
Looking at the "user_criteria" line, the compiler is complaining about Illegal Statement Termination.
I installed the latest, bringing the editor up to .12 instead of .11 and it is still complaining, though it is colouring the code differently.
I don't know if that's related or just some other quirk.
If I put an extra line between the search_criteria and the If statement and recompile, the colouring rectifies itself and stays corrected even if I remove the newly added blank line. So, I figure the colouring is just a coincidental quirk I can live with but may still be worth mentioning.
Any thoughts as to why line 75 is fine but 78 is unhappy?
Not a showstopper for me because I'll just do it the way I've always done it but I am curious if I've misunderstood something.

Note the accent character at the end.
I also discovered that super strings do not work well when the interpolated variable is at the very end of the super string (it just gets treated as a normal string).
We'll look into this. There are so many permutations that it will not surprise me if we come across several more edge cases.
Opening a routine that has a super string throws out the colouring for all lines after the super string. A compile recolours correctly.
Actually, what I think happens is the colouring just stops at the super string when you open the routine, as if it recognises it as the end of the routine.
