I agree. Currently the parsers take String, not Text, so I'm not sure if 
doing as you suggest is complicated or not.

As a start, I just commited a few updates that make Workspace Shout 
parsing start fresh after any empty line (i.e. a sequence of two LFs). 
Maybe this is enough. Maybe the double quotes are no longer needed. 
We'll see.

If I got right the stuff I just pushed, just an empty line should be 
enough to get left arrows for assignment and Shout attributes right. 
Please test.

BTW, You all folks telling these kinds of things out loud is extremely 
important. I have a tendency to get used to, and ignore these small 
annoyances. You all pointing at them makes me try to fix them!
