There is no language feature for this.  You could try using
CONFIGURE_FILE to write the string to a file and then INCLUDE the file
but it may complain about reading from a file created by CMake.

What is your motivating use case?  Can it be done with a MACRO?

If you still need it, feature requests may be submitted here:

Please include the motivating use case.
