Given the current code :

eileen "Hey, "
extend "you"

The current implem displays the following

(prefix)Hey, (suffix)
(prefix)Hey, you(suffix)

Which I believe is the best, correct behavior. Any change would surprise creators and I don't think a majority would like the alternative better.

Since I use quotationmarks

for me this is the best

(prefix)Hey,
(prefix)Hey, you(suffix)

It looks goofy to have quotationmarks moving around in text so it should only apply at the last extend.
Maybe having an variable to switch the mode between old and my idea.

consider the following script:

$ flag = True
s 'sentence 1'
if flag:
    extend 'sentence 2'

It's hard to tell whether "sencence 1" will be extended or not, especially if we don't know flag will be True or False. Extremely, let flag be random:

s 'sentence 1'
python:
    import random
    flag = random.randint(0, 1)
if flag:
    extend 'sentence 2'

when "sentence 1" is shown, we definitely don't know whether "sencence 2" will show or not. flag is determined at runtime, so JIT compilation or something else won't help.

We do have an extend-predicting system in place, but the example above shows how unexpectable and magic it can be, so I don't think that's a sound solution.
