RFR - JDK-8202443 - String::unescape (CSR Review)

[Roger Riggs]

Hi Jim,

Typically, setting the state to Proposed would follow asking for the CSR 
review and its feedback integrated.

The specification of IAE, would be more precisely written as:

"when escape sequence is malformed" -> "when the escape sequence does 
not conform to JLS 3.3 or 3.10.6"

Regards, Roger
