Wrap NSString stringWithFormat: across multiple lines

I am wrapping my SQL statement for FMDatabase in a NSString. I'd like to keep it clean with line returns like

SELECT * FROM table as t
JOIN location as loc 
on t.position = loc.value

Is there a way to wrap a long SQL statement (the actual statement is much longer) in an NSString with line breaks? I'd rather not create a NSMutableString, and then appendFormat:. Thanks.

NSString *query = @"SELECT * FROM table as t \
                    JOIN location as loc \
                    on t.position = loc.value";

This should work:

NSString *statement =
    @"line1\n"
     "line2\n"
     "line3\n";
