It does not add '\n' on its own; C style rules apply.  If you don't want
it to wrap lines, you can use the option --no-wrap .

    "foo bar"

and

    "foo " "bar"

and

    "foo "
    "bar"

are all the same; this is different:

    "foo \n"
    "bar"

These days it is the best to trust in msgcat's normalization features.
