Difficult to distinguish if byte in string is already escaped or was escaped by BinaryNinja #4189

What is the feature you'd like to have?
I'm digging through a blob of partially compressed, poorly obfuscated data, encoded as a hex string in a format which happens to exactly mirror how we escape invalid bytes in strings, which is making it very difficult to figure out what's going on.

There is nuance if you manually count the amount of backslashes, but I can very easily send you 50 examples where that is still ambiguous.

Emitting non ascii string members and other escapees with a differently colored Token would help make things much more clear

Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
Can't think of any others
