Can we perhaps keep the disparagement a bit more muted, please?

I'm busy implementing what you've said you want, namely the ability to
use the C-M-* commands across "strings" consisting of two "s with at
least one unescaped NL between them.

At the moment, in the following:

    printf ("Hello
             world");

, with point on the first ", C-M-f goes to after the second ".  With
point on the w, C-M-u goest to the first ".

There are one or two tricky edge cases I'm still working on.

As I asked, can we keep the disparagement down, please?  It's not
helping anything or anybody, particularly not me.

Thanks.
