Escape sequences in format doesn't work #19

Reading a shaman man page on FORMAT there's a statement:

All other valid escape characters may also be used (e.g., \n and \\).

But that doesn't seem to be the case. Looking at the source code there's no such parsing done. I'm not sure if it's a bug in code / documentation or my misinterpretation. Using verbatim special characters (newlines, tabs, etc.) works OK.

Interesting! I believe I know what needs to be changed. I'll get on that shortly.
