Description Ed Willink

A new line in an OCLinEcore annotation value is consistently written out as &xA; which is read in and converted to \n.

Probably better to prohibit new lines in strings, or treat them as a multi-string concatenator.

Fix for arbitrary strings

Attached allows

A concatenation of quoted strings as an OCLinEcore annotation value.

Interprets 

'x
y'

as synonym for 'x\n' 'y'

Introduces support for \u Unicode characters as per OCL specification.
