Idiom # 48: Multi-line string literal

See programming-idioms.org:

Code

s := ("Strings extending over several lines are currently not well supported\n" +
      "in Fuzion.  They can be constructed out of several shorter strings\n" +
      "that are concatenated using 'infix +'.  Line feeds are inserted using\n" +
      "a backslash followed by an 'n', i.e, '\\n'.  Additionally, the string\n" +
      "has to be enclosed in parentheses since operator expressions are\n" +
      "limited to one line.\n")

What are effects?

Running Example

        "a backslash followed by an 'n', i.e, '\\n'.  Additionally, the string\n" +
