Regular Expression as converter parameter

When adding a regular expression as converter parameter from WATS Configuration, even if we include the CDATA tag, the string gets "normalized" upon saving in Converters.xml, which means that symbols like "<" and ">" are replaced by their html notations. When retrieving this parameter in converter, string is returned in that normalized notation, meaning that it is not a parsable regex.

I'd suggest to have a checkbox or something added in parameters, something that would tell WATS to leave the input exactly as provided.
