I think this discussion is getting off-topic for the lily list, but
the topic is not

        "foo"
        "bar\n"

as a way of writing "foobar\n" but,

        "foo
        bar"

as a way of writing "foo\nbar". We use lots of instances of "foo
bar", eg.



        ADD_INTERFACE (Bar_line, "bar-line-interface",
          "Bar line.

        This is a request to print a special bar symbol. It replaces the 
        regular bar symbol with a special
        symbol.  The argument @var{bartype} is a string which specifies the
        kind of bar to print.  Options are @code{:|},
        @code{|:}, @code{:|:},
        @code{||}, @code{|.},
        @code{.|}, and @code{.|.}. 

        These produce, respectively, a right repeat, a left repeat, a double
        repeat, a double bar, a start bar, an end bar, and a thick double bar.
        If @var{bartype} is set to @code{empty} then nothing is printed,
        but a line break is allowed at that spot.
        "
        ,
          "bar-size-procedure kern thin-kern hair-thickness thick-thickness glyph 
bar-size break-glyph-function");
