[antlr-interest] gUnit special character escaping

[Leon Su]

Hi,

gUnit accepts escaped character in its testsuite expressions, but  
there's a bug currently.
You may try multiple-line expression as Andreas suggested.
A minor update of gUnit will be release in these days.
(the bug is also fixed.)

Regards,

Leon
