Is there any support for multi-line string literals in Haskell? I've

Do you mean
unlines ["first line", "second line", "third line"]
The original poster probably meant something like this:
let foo = "This is a
long string
Which does not end until the matching end quote."
Common Lisp has strings like this. Quite convenient whenever you're
communicating using lots of strings of data. For example, when
running as a cgi script.
