  • string literals (both single and double quoted) should support escape sequences. currently only strings inside hex..end do that:
hex
  "\t" // compiles as 09 (code for a TAB character)
end

0@v = "\t" // compiles as 5C 74 ("\t")
  • strings should support multiple spaces without escaping
hex
  "\t     \t" // leave one space between \t
end

0@v = "\t     \t" // same
  • SB3_compat mode

Need compatibility mode to allow old scripts compile without having to make changes to strings using \{char} (e.g. "data\test.cs")
