Mostly consistency.

It /sort/ of helps me while roaming through strings.
There are some rare cases where the next line is in fact being
appended w/o a space.
It's a lot easier to reason by looking at the major string and *know*
(especially when using grep where the next line isn't visible) that
the next line is in fact just more words and not some odd append.
