AFAIK no language currently offers "NL terminating strings".  So, we
should indeed behave as if this NL doesn't terminate the string (IIUC
the problem is that CC-mode marks NL-inside-string as if it terminates
a string, but that's just an internal detail which shouldn't have such
visible side-effects.  Personally I'd vote to just not treat
NF-inside-string in such a special way: it's a lot of trouble on the
implementation side for very little benefit to the end user since the
way strings are font-locked makes it trivially obvious to the user
what's going on).
