Can you imagine the madness if escapes were specific to stdio, or some other library! "Ok, and I'll just send this newline over the network... Dammit, std.network doesn't escape \n". Also means that you have perfect consistency between usages of strings, no strange other usages of the same escape sequence... -- James Miller
