IDE Feature List

Balance quotes (both in single-line and multi-line cases)

Example:
1. User has the following code:
```
var s = """
hello world
""";
```
1. User adds starting ":
```
var s = """"
hello world
""";
```
1. Roslyn should auto-add an ending ":
```
var s = """"
hello world
"""";
```

Balance curly braces in interpolated strings (both in single-line and multi-line cases)

Example:

var s = $$"""
             {
                 hello world
             };
             """

var s = $$"""
             {{
                 hello world
             };
             """

var s = $$"""
             {{
                 hello world
             }};
             """

Indentation indication line

Example:

var xml = """
          <element attr="content">
            <body>
            </body>
          </element>
          """;

Roslyn should add an option to show a visual line to show where the indentation of the raw string literal begins:

var xml = """
          |<element attr="content">
          |  <body>
          |  </body>
          |</element>
          """;

Automatically add spaces to content if user adds spaces to last line

Example:

var xml = """
          <element attr="content">
            <body>
            </body>
          </element>
          """;

var xml = """
          <element attr="content">
            <body>
            </body>
          </element>
              """;

Roslyn should auto-adjust contents to the right so the user avoids ending up in an error state:

var xml = """
              <element attr="content">
                <body>
                </body>
              </element>
              """;

Refactoring for converting a verbatim string with escapes to a raw string literal:

Example:
1. User has the following code:
```
var s = @"hello "" world ";
```
1. Roslyn should offer a refactoring to convert it to the following:
```
var s = """hello " world""";
```
