In C, "\"foo\"" produces ASCII quotes.
>=C2=A0 Anyway, if this feature is not supposed to work reliably in
>=C2=A0 programming language strings, perhaps we shouldn't try?=C2= =A0 Having it
>=C2=A0 sometimes work and sometimes not is IMO confusing.

Well, can you give an example where it does work in strings?=C2=A0 Maybe
I'm missing something, because it looked to me as if it never works in<= br> that case.
