Bug #5022: Multiline strings would be nice.

Affected version:
Keywords: string concatenate multiline
Branch:
Had a fellow in the IRC channel just now ask about how to do multiline strings
(without newlines in them). The real request was for string concat so that he
could wrap a long string sanely on multiple lines.
Examples of things I tried that I expected to work:
<pre>
Code:
$foo = "hello" + "world"
Error:
left operand of + is not a number at /home/jls/test.pp:2 on node snack.home
Code:
$foo = "test" \
"hello"
Error:
Could not parse for environment production: Syntax error at '\' at
/home/jls/test.pp:1
Code (this one works, but clutters up the manifest):
$foo = regsubst(
"test
hello", "\n *", " ")
notice($foo)
Output:
notice: Scope(Class[main]): test hello
</pre>
Thoughts? Strings can span lines, but carry newlines. Would be nice if we could
concatenate strings.
