StrSubstitutor can preserve escapes StrSubstitutor can now optionally preserve the escape character for an escaped reference, which is useful when substitution takes place in multiple phases and some references are intentionally unresolved. Prior to this change, an unresolved reference `${a}` and an escaped reference `$${a}` may result in the same string `${a}`, making it impossible for an additional substitution phase to distinguish between escaped references and non-escaped references.
