It helps that Java is exclusively a compiled programming language, so these are just syntactic sugar concerns for the parser/lexer and the compiled bytecode ends up looking identical to having just used one long string with inline \n. So given that, I don't think it really ends up being that sophisticated. I think this could be a decent easy programming question for a technical interview though!
