Possible to include \n chars in doctest code samples or output?

Thomas,

I understand what you're saying, but I'm struggling with how to
represent the following strings in doctest code and doctest results. No
matter what combination of backslashes or raw strings I use, I am unable
to find a way to code the following.

>>> encode( '", \, \t, \n' )
'\", \\, \\t, \\n'

Thank you,
Malcolm
