Ok, \\n should work in 9e9539d, there was special handling of \n in the code 
already that made \newcommand etc. impossible.  I think it unavoidably breaks 
theoretically possible abbreviations in people's local settings, but (a) they 
probably don't exist, and (b) better that than have the code unable to 
represent text needed for a demonstrated use case (\newcommand etc. in LaTeX).

Yes, and I also tried '\n' and "\n" to no avail.

That doesn't really answer the question. I use the `\:` syntax often to create 
new lines in abbreviations as you demonstrate. What I need is the text output 
to be `\n`. I need to somehow escape the `\n` such that when executed it 
doesn't generate a new line and strip out the `\n' string literal.
