It is not uncommon, for instance when dealing with SQL requests, to have repeated calls to ``++StringBuilder.append()++`` to create a long (sometimes really long) String that will be then passed to the appropriate subsystem (e.g. jdbc.Statement()). This is very undesirable because it makes it more difficult to read, and maintain, the statement in the String due to overlapping syntaxes.

It is highly recommended to address such a case with an external text file loaded as a resource.
