Issue Description:

Most string literals can be line-wrapped with `+`, but not the literals used in attributes. A project that has a hard line-length limit will have to make an exception and, probably, put it into the project's linting tools.

String literals cannot be line-wrapped with + unless the implementing type is Swift.String. I'm not sure we want to make this a general policy.

The use of multiline strings to handle the use case came up in the core team yesterday; it's a much better solution.
