Would it be possible to have compile-time concatenation of *all* string
literals using the `+` operator?
// Written as:
@available(*, unavailable, message: "Long strings can be bro" +
"ken into two or more pieces.")
// Compiled as:
@available(*, unavailable, message: "Long strings can be broken into
two or more pieces.")
This could also be used with types such as StaticString, which don't have their
own `+` operator.
// Written as:
let s: StaticString = "Long strings can be bro" +
"ken into two or more pieces."
// Compiled as:
let s: StaticString = "Long strings can be broken into two or more
pieces."
