can do a good job at allowing long urls for example, but would be whack a mole trying to cater for "all" purposeful implicit string concatenations

Splitting long URLs onto multiple lines because you have a hard line length limit is considerably more harmful than exceeding the length limit in such cases, because you break the URL up so that tooling (including language-unaware static analysers) can’t conveniently access it. (e.g. if you want to open the link, you can’t just copy it or click on it or whatever, but must first join the lines, removing the quotation marks.) Any tool that forcibly splits up such lines when there is no fundamental hard technical reason why it must is, I categorically state, a bad tool.
