Subject: String Concatenation and Implicit Object Creation

Do adjacent strings or strings separated by backslash and a newline
create multiple String objects?

For example:

s1 = 'asdf' 'qwer'

s2 = 'asdf'\
    'qwer'

I don't know how to figure this out, but I ran benchmarks and compared
against '<<' and '+' and it looks like each example above only creates
a single String object. What's really happening?
