greg-dove opened a new issue #110: Escaping Curly Braces for String literals in mxml
URL: https://github.com/apache/royale-compiler/issues/110
 
 
   Support escaping curly braces to allow curly braces in string literal assignments in mxml
   Flex permits the following:
   `<s:Label text="\{entry\}"  />`
   
   where 'entry' is a local [Bindable] property
   and the text will not create a binding, and will simply be interpreted as a string literal assigment.
   
   Royale has a bug where the same code will create a binding, returning a string literal, something like the following:
   ```
   function() { return "\\{entry\\"; },
     null,
     ["$ID27", "text"]
   ```
   Aside from being unnecessary, that also results in the wrong content being displayed (because it retains the backslashes, and omits the second curly brace)
