Ruby String Concatenation Escaping

Quick post about something strange I came across recently.  When you concat two ruby strings, it does an extra escape on each string.

The \r\n were double escaped so when you print the string, you don't actually get carriage return or newline characters, you literally get the slash r slash n.  That's all =)
