This layered approach seems like a superb way to build software. It made it super easy to grasp what's going on. Put this PR together in an hour an a half, having never looked at the subx code before. Really excited to see where this project goes :)

The patch adds supports for \n, \t and \" in string literals.

To avoid screwing up the trace format, I added the functionality to unescape newlines in the messages.

Awesome, thank you so much for the kind words! I'll take a look in an hour or three.
