I pushed a commit that allows specifying a numeric value as a formatted string in quotes, so I'm retitling this bug to reflect the remaining work.

In .sav files, the literal '\n' appears. The translation seems to be done at the output stage.

For numeric variables, it should be possible to specify a value by putting a formatted value in quotes (especially useful for date formats). This should be done by generalizing parse_number from range-parser.c to handle any variable type.

SPSS 15 translates \n in strings into new-lines. I don't know yet whether this happens at assignment or at use (what appears in .sav files?)
