Ah, you know what, you're right. It's an equivalent string for me too:

    "hi\
    "
I didn't know Lua treated \ before newlines like that. That's cool! I made a similar Lua serialization library for myself and was using a chain of `string.match` calls to escape my strings. Now I can make it way simpler. Lol. Thanks
