Description
Swift 5 has a new delimiter syntax for raw strings, so all of the following are now possible:
"some string"
#"some string"#
##"some string"##
// and so on
Those might look neat as a ligature. Rust supposedly uses something similar.

Research direction
Start with the Swift 5 raw-string delimiter examples in the issue and compare the referenced Rust syntax. Done means Fira Code renders the requested #"..."# and ##"..."## patterns as ligatures; the issue names no repository files or tests, so those entry points must be located first.
