Escape sequence in native part is applied and resulting code will be broken.

src:

import 'console.jsx';

native class Test {
    static const text : string;
} = '''
{
    text: '\r\n'
}
''';

class _Main {
    static function main(argv : string[]) : void {
        console.log(Test.text);
    }
}

result (only native part):

var Test$0 = 
{
    text: '
    '
};

This is a spec. Multiline string literal understands escape sequences to be used within. And inline native definition uses the feature.

I thought again and I noticed the removing escape sequence is difficult.
