Re: cc-mode adds newlines

[Richard Stallman]

    Accepting such strings is a violation of the C++ standard, I think.  I'll
    need to complain about this to GCC.  Possibly, I'll not be the first.

We do not "violate" the C++ standard, we diverge from it.  We do not
regard standards as authorities.  We make our own decisions.

Complain if you wish, but I will not agree to the absurd limitation of
string constants to a single line.
