And if it is a multiline string, the compiler may have to convert 
carriage return/new line into a space for you, to allow it to take:

FROM Customers
FULL OUTER JOIN Orders

and convert the carriage return after "Customers" into a space for you..

otherwise it will be:

FROM CustomersFULL OUTER JOIN Orders

..concatenated without a space

Something to be concerned about if implementing it.
