Stewart Gordon was just talking about code like:
a ~ "this" "that"
where a is a string[].


To join multiple lines you may add a ~ at their end:

string text = "I use automatic joining all the time for long string literals. I
want them to " ~
              "span multiple source lines without containing line breaks. " ~
              "No, not a rarely used feature.";
