Allow C-style backslash escapes within string constants to embed
special characters. The following escapes are accepted:
-
-<itemize>
-<item><tt>\\</tt> backslash (<tt>$5C</tt>)
-<item><tt>\'</tt> single quote (<tt>$27</tt>)
-<item><tt>\"</tt> double quote (<tt>$22</tt>)
-<item><tt>\t</tt> tab (<tt>$09</tt>)
-<item><tt>\r</tt> carriage return (<tt>$0D</tt>)
-<item><tt>\n</tt> newline (<tt>$0A</tt>)
-<item><tt>\xNN</tt> (<tt>$NN</tt>)
-</itemize>
-
- Note that <tt>\n</tt> maps to ASCII <tt>$0A</tt>, not a platform specific
- line ending character.
