Kill implicit joining of adjacent strings

Is adding 1 char every time you use implicit joining of strings in your modules "overly verbose"?

This string of yours:

string someText = "I find it useful, and I like it. I like to break long strings into smaller ones"
    "and put each one in one line. I know that you can do that using one single string, but"
    "some syntax hightlighters don't like it that way.";

Now becomes:

string someText = "I find it useful, and I like it. I like to break long strings into smaller ones" ~
    "and put each one in one line. I know that you can do that using one single string, but" ~
    "some syntax hightlighters don't like it that way.";
