U+2028 character in template breaks the compiler

[sidonath]

If a template includes the U+2028 (line separator) character, JavaScriptCompiler.compile() will fail.

Here's a fiddle that shows the problem: http://jsfiddle.net/9vYCX/

To fix this, a bunch of nasty unicode characters could be escaped prior to parsing using a regex not unlike Douglas Crockford's from json2.js.

It doesn't seem like outputting the text \u2028 is the correct fix.

Hm, right. Initial thinking was that it would make the error obvious and easier to fix. However, replacing with a space would be a good enough solution. Providing a mapping function/array would be better, but probably unnecessary for majority (if not all) use-cases.
