I stumbled upon some strangeness with character handling.

user=> (require '[rewrite-clj.parser :as p])
user=> (-> "\newline" p/parse-string-all :children)
( )

I would have expected \newline to be stored in a single node. It doesn't have rewriting repercussions because both nodes are written:

user=> (-> "\newline" p/parse-string-all str)
"\newline"

But it would not be great for analysis. Do you remember addressing this in your clj-kondo rewrite-clj fork, @borkdude?

Oh stupid me. Forgot that I had to escape in string!

user=> (-> "\\newline" p/parse-string-all :children)
(<token: \newline>)

I would delete the above messages... but I'd rather stay humble and oh so fallible.

I celebrate humility and fallibility! 😊 I'd say it works better in practice than the alternatives.

@lee glad you solved it
