Bug description:  RFC: C-style string concatenation

Hi there,

I was wondering if it would be at all possible to get ANSI C / ISO
C99-style string literal concatenation added?

The PHP syntax already borrows so much from C that this seems to be a
worthy addition. It would also make it much easier for wrapping ugly SQL
for pretty source files.

String literal concatenation being:

$a =   "MY NAME IS "
"DAVE WILSON" /* some comment tokens
that get ignored */ "WAS HERE" // 2002
"2003";


Or, more useful:

"SELECT id,x,y,z FROM tbl " /* grab required cols */
"WHERE y = %d"  /* for our y coordinate. */
