I disagree. In the very unlikely condition that you have multiple string literals on a single line *and* don't know what an octal escape sequence is *and* can't figure it out from the context, you can just google it or search within the es5 spec. Showing them the string won't help any more than giving them the line number. They need to go to that line to fix it anyway.
