When debugging via brick, it can be extremely helpful to add logging of multiline statements to the smart contract. For example maybe we want to see a stack trace at the current execution point:
But currently this results in something like this very long line:
Even if #113 is fixed, the fact that many characters are escaped makes this very hard to understand. The biggest problem is that newlines are rendered as
\u000a, so it's really difficult to visually parse the stacktrace. But it would also be helpful if other characters like"were also not escaped.I understand that this change would break the convention of one logging event per line, and maybe on a production blockchain that is unacceptable. But in brick when the emphasis is on testing and debugging it is more helpful. So I suggest either we change this for brick, or at least add a new option to brick which disables quoting.
