FMPS v1.0 and triple colon escaping

...1) is the correct answer, according to the spec, but I see why you say that it's more difficult to split correctly. I wish you'd brought this up earlier sometime in the past year of the spec's development... :-) ...This was discussed at some point but that solution wasn't preferred, because you still have to do a replacement over the string, and it makes... more »
