Details

Our handling of broken escapes in .properties files is widely inconsistent across the mozilla ecosystem, gaia, gecko, compare-locales all handle it differently.

It should:

* Eat the broken escape, i.e., \a -> a, \u -> u
* compare-locales should issue a warning about them.

We'll have blocking bugs for each of our ecosystem pieces.
Summary: Make handling of broken \ escapes in .properties consistent across all consumers of them → [compare-locales] Make handling of broken \ escapes in .properties consistent across all consumers of them
These pop up quicker than we can fix 'em, we won't succeed there. Hopefully we'll get fluent to be the pop-up-everywhere fileformat soon.
