Description
We should ensure that very long string literals are correctly wrapped using \.
let x =
"hellllllllooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo\
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo";
Note that this does not introduce a newline in the string and the \ is completely gone after being parsed, and the string contains no spaces before the oooooo.. on the second line.
