Add the function "character('character_name')" that returns the special character named by character_name. For example, character('newline') returns a newline character ('\n'). The function can be used with strcat() to create multiline and tab-aligned output. The supported character names are 'newline', 'return', 'tab', and 'backslash'. The argument to character() can be an expression that returns the character name.
Show special characters in the template editor & debugger as escape sequences, e.g., a newline is displayed as \n.
Performance improvements in the template language parser.
