I wanted a PBCC application to be able to regenerate its documentation file, but soon found it was more trouble than it was worth. So I would like to see a text block feature someday.

One way is to simply support the Python-esque triple quotes:

STDOUT """
lots of text here
"""

Or for something more sophisticated:

TEXT BEGIN="Readme"
#INCLUDE "Readme-English.txt"
#INCLUDE "Readme-French.txt"
TEXT END="Readme"
TEXT BEGIN="License"
'Except for comments and #statements for the compiler, any text
'included here will also be treated as text.
#INCLUDE "GPL3.txt"
'GPL3.txt was formatted to 64 columns.
This line will be picked up after GPL3.txt is.
And then this line.
TEXT END="License"
'whatever goes here
STDOUT TEXT.Readme
