Research direction
Start by examining the Sway lexer in sway core/src/language/parsing/lex.rs (or similar) to understand how string literals are currently tokenized. Implement the addition of common escape sequences like \\n, \\t, etc. as defined in the Rust reference. Update the parser and add tests in the test suite. Check the issue comments for any additional context or constraints.
