    <![CDATA[
    Enforces that the concatenation operator for multi-line concatenations is in a preferred position, either always at the start of the next line or always at the end of the previous line.
    The preferred position is configurable and defaults to "start" for _start of the next line_.
    Note: mid-line concatenation is still allowed and will not be flagged by this sniff.
