I see two problems here:
- first, newlines are inserted in the string. I can't tell them
from those I inserted as '\n'.
- second, if I indent my text for better reading, spaces are
added at the beginning of each line.
I could either use kilometric lines (most editors don't like them, and
readability goes down the drain), or concentenate the lines with '..'
(which would be acceptable if the parser could read them as a single string).
