Support all simple string escape sequences #97

Closed jeaye closed 1 month ago

jeaye commented 1 month ago

Currently, we support only \n and \t properly. We have partial support for \r, too. Let's support all of the simple escape sequences listed here: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/escape

[ ] Add lexing support for each escape sequence (in lex.cpp)
[ ] Add escape/unescape support for each escape sequence (in escape.hpp/cpp)
[ ] Update the lexing tests to include all supported sequences
[ ] Update the parse tests to include all supported sequences
