Unfortunately JEP 280-style indified string concatenation is not enabled
in the java.base module to avoid bootstrap issues.

That said, even if you could benefit from ISC here, StringBuilders are
likely to be better when building up your string using loops and method
calls, unless there's a simple way to reduce it all down to a single
concatenation expression (no passing the builder to another method, no
loops etc).
