Hi,

Using the Java API, when attempting to parse a text-formatted protobuf
message that contains adjacent strings that are meant to be
concatenated, such as in the following contrived example:

  name:"John Smith"
  profession:"mailman"
  description:
      "all these strings "
      "are concatenated to form "
      "a single very long description"

The following exception is thrown:
  Exception in thread "main" com.google.protobuf.TextFormat
$ParseException: 3:5: Expected identifier.
          at com.google.protobuf.TextFormat$Tokenizer.parseException
(TextFormat.java:698)
          at com.google.protobuf.TextFormat$Tokenizer.consumeIdentifier
(TextFormat.java:525)
          at com.google.protobuf.TextFormat.mergeField(TextFormat.java:
851)
          at com.google.protobuf.TextFormat.merge(TextFormat.java:811)
          at com.google.protobuf.TextFormat.merge(TextFormat.java:757)

Is this not meant to be supported?

Thank you.
