Because the scanner only handles shortstrings for speed reasons. You can
construct longer strings by concatenating multiple shorter strings (they
will be concatenated at compile time).
Maybe we should fix this and introduce a patternl (for long) for
cstring, there are only a few places in the compiler where this used.
