Dear All,
Perhaps this should go in r-package-devel, but I suspect that this is
going to turn into a feature request, and I want to run it by the list
before filing it in the Bugzilla.
I would like to specify a long string literal without making the line
of code too long. In R,
"abc
def"
yields

Hello,
Under R 4.5.0 on Windows (x86-64), I get:

[1] Inf
> sqrt(.Machine$double.xmax)*sqrt(.Machine$double.xmax)
[1] Inf
On other hand on other platforms, including Debian Linux (x86-64), I
get:
d> sqrt(.Machine$double.xmax)^2
[1] 1.797693134862315508561e+308
