Swift - Split string over multiple lines

Question

How could I split a string over multiple lines such as below?

var text:String = \"This is some text
                   over multiple lines\"

Answer 1

As pointed out by litso, repeated use of the +-Operator in one expression can lead to XCode Beta hanging (just checked with XCode 6 Beta 5): Xcode 6 Beta not compiling

An alternative for multiline strings for now is to use an array of strings and reduce it with +:

var text = ["This is some text ",
            "over multiple lines"].reduce("", +)

Or, arguably simpler, using join:

var text = "".join(["This is some text ",
                    "over multiple lines"])
