In e.g. C it would have to be:

printf("This is a message over more than one line "
"to illustrate that C don ignor newlines completely");

You still have to have two separate string constants, although in ANSI
C the concatenation is done automatically if the string constants are
separated only by whitespace. The use of the '&' operator in Ada makes
it much more obvious that you did this intentionally.
