What was going wrong was typing characters into a C++ raw string when
there was no closing delimiter at all was very sluggish.  This was
because a lot of scanning to the "end of the literal" (i.e. here the end
of the buffer) was being done needlessly.

I've sorted this out, and typing into a raw string now doesn't cause a
delay.
