Creating a string scalar with line continuation

I'm passionately against breaking the 80'ish character width limit in code files. Therefore, I use line continuation ellipses heavily. I recently realized I can't find a (nice/non-redundant) way to create a string scalar with a line continuation.
myStr = ["Hello this is an extremely long sentence that would go ", ...
"beyond my 80-character limit."];
Results in a 1x2 string array. Obviously,
myStr = string(['Hello this is an extremely long sentence that ', ...
'would go beyond my 80-character limit.'])
gives me the desired output, but it feels redundant creating a char array then converting to a string array.
Any thoughts?
