[mkgmap-dev] Special codes for labeling Polylines don't work neither in Mapsource nor in GPS(e.g. 60csx)

Dear Sirs,
during my first attempts with mkgmap, i observed that mkgmap obviously 
don't recognized special codes for labels like  "~[0x1e]".
mkgmap simply compiles it as a string. I ngarmin img this codes e.g. are 
used for special highway shields or to have some influence from which 
zoom level a part of the label will be displayed.
Also it will beused for the routing preview.
Example:
Label=SomeInformation~[0x1e]happy street
On routing preview it then looks like  "Left on happy street"

sincerly
