Error messages with escape characters

Compiler

When I have a (in this case) function whose name is an escape character (such as \n) and I use it incorrectly the compiler error goes to a new line instead of the expected “\n”.

(sorry for the image, but double-backticks make monospace which is not what I needed to show.)

I.e., messaging where the identifier has an embedded newline doesn’t escape the newline.

Would make for a fun first contribution, I’m sure!
