As someone pointed out elsewhere in this thread, literal strings are
concatenated at compile time in several languages (generation of
byte-code for interpreted languages).  However, this part of the
discussion is rather off the point, because the example above isn't
what causes the folding problem.  It's when a single literal string
spans multiple lines in the source code, not when multiple lines of
source each have a literal string.

I agree with the others who say the problem should be tackled by
improving Scintilla.
