  text object - may not be a bug

Should the following be ok? The docs don't seem to prohibit, but I'm getting a
[] rather than a newline:

#declare myStr = "hello\nworld";

// create a TrueType text shape
text {
  ttf             // font type (only TrueType format for now)
  "crystal.ttf",  // Microsoft Windows-format TrueType font file name
  myStr,      // the string to create
  2,              // the extrusion depth
  0               // inter-character spacing
  pigment{Red}
}
