Describe the Feature
When building a long string in a script for insert or update, I like to break it into logical chunks for readability and easy maintenance. Also, VSCode does not like really long single-line strings. Something like this:

declare @longString nvarchar(max) = '';

set
    @longString = @longString +
	'{"JsonObject": [{' +
	'"JsonField1": {"Name": "JsonValue1"},' +
	'"JsonField2": {"Name": "JsonValue2"},' +
	'"JsonField3": {"Name": "JsonValue3"},' +
	'"JsonField4": {"Name": "JsonValue4"}' + 
	'}]}';


update MyTable set MyColumn = @longString where...

At this time, when formatting with this extension, the formatter joins all these lines onto a single line.

Why do you want this feature?
I'd like to keep my strings readable and not have the issue with VSCode an long strings.
