Hi Bruce,

thanks a lot for the examples.
Obviously my example could have been chosen better as what I intended to 
show, was an example of a literal to be referenced from the metadata, 
which only makes sense in it's full length. Imagine a name, quote, which 
looses his semantic when it's string is reduced.  There should be a nice 
example where the literal has to be split, someone help me out on this?

Bests,
Svante
