Are you sure about the latter? I'm fairly certain string literal concatenation is still considered kosher (I've certainly seen it used without generating warnings, let alone errors).

String concatenation in C is recent, it wasn't in K&R. And I doubt it will go away (it is way too useful, the previous way using '\' at the end of the line was bletcherous)

Adjacent string concatenation via comments, e.g.
#define PASTE(a,b) a/**/b
PASTE("foo","bar")
was thankfully broken when cpp was defined in terms of tokens rather than
in terms of text-stream transformation. But that was C89...
