strings in scheme

[Chris Uzdavinis <chris@atdesk.com>]

How can I "wrap" really long strings in source code?  For example,

(printf "I'd like "
        "this to be "
        " on separate lines~n")

I've tried using back slashes (like C), but that fails too.  Is there
a trick, or do I just need to tolarate really long wrapping lines?

The closest solution I've found so far is this:

(printf "I'd like \
         this to be \
         on separate lines~n")

But it has the side effect of backslashing the newline (and so it
stays in the string) plus all the extra space at the beginning of
subsequent lines.

Is it possible to break up long lines without changing their meaning?
Thanks in advance.
