> The current importtsv functionality will not work if one passes a non-XML
> representable character as the separator character (say, an escape character
> - \u001b, fairly common in use).
> {code}
> -Dimporttsv.separator=$'\x1b' # This param fails the submitter when
> serialized.
> {code}
> While this is a limitation with the Configuration class's being serialized as
> an XML, it can be circumvented by applying a suitable encoding that makes a
> string XML-compatible.
