I can't fix this without breaking escaped quotation marks again. Bottom line: I'm in a dilemma. I need the one functionality but the other is also important. What should I do?

If the fix to this problem stands in the way of further progress, then do not fix it.

After all, the pwad is playable with 0.9.19

1 is not an option because the way it is done now doesn't allow a backslash as the last character in a string.
2 may be the only solution but I have to discuss this with Randy first.

I added a hack to the parser that ignores escape sequences when parsing DECORATE. This is a temporary fix at best and has to be addressed later for sure.
