Description

Currently configurations of type .cfg.json only allow the JSON format defined by https://docs.osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/service.configurator.html. For some very long values like scripts property for PID org.apache.sling.jcr.repoinit.RepositoryInitializer this makes the value very hard to read, as JSON does not support values spanning multiple lines.

It would be nice if some line continuation character would be supported which allows to distribute a String value across multiple lines.
