How I write multi-line strings in JavaScript

Forget having to do the usual:

var bigString = 'Line 1\n' +
 'Line 2\n' +
 ...;

Instead, make an array and join with the newline character:

var bigString = [
 'Line 1',
 'Line 2',
 ...
].join('\n');

I find this makes writing, reading, and editing more than a couple lines a lot easier.
