It's also a big problem for the linux kernel and for various other packages.
Even if there should be good reasons to discourage multi line string
I think it shouldn't be warned until an alternative inline assembly
syntax that doesn't rely on strings exists. Currently it is discouraging
one practice with no good replacement.
