The problem of escaping is just too messy. I think it should be done with a plugin to the IDE. I have written a number of ideas about how such a beast might work. Almost any convention to make it easy to tell the difference between a command letter and a data letter makes life 5 times simpler. You also want to get the Java quoting out the way. Two layers of quoting boggles the mediocre mind.
