I noticed this issue because i needed \n to be handled in my .properties
files, that's the only way to have a line return in a property in such a
file. The same is not true for a DatabaseConfiguration for example, the
value field can store unescaped characters. Same thing for
XMLConfiguration, line returns are naturally accepted in the property
values and XML entities can be used for special characters. That's why i
would say it's a problem specific to PropertiesConfiguration and
AbstractConfiguration doesn't need to be modified.

[configuration] unescaping propertiesWell, it seems like if it is good
enough for Propertiesconfiguration, then it is good enough for all of them,
right? Unless this should be decorator? Would you always want to escape
these characters? What happens if you don't escape them?
