String literal "\\" parses incorrectly
--------------------------------------

                 Key: VELOCITY-709
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-709
             Project: Velocity
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Engine
    Affects Versions: 1.7
            Reporter: Byron Foster
             Fix For: 1.7


Given the following VTL:

#set($var = "\\" )
#set($var2 = "${var}")

results in the following parse error:

Encountered "${" at test.vm[line 2, column 15]
Was expecting one of:
    <RPAREN> ...
     ...

the problem is that when parsing the string literal "\\" the second double 
quote is escaped.  This was actually a bug that was introduced in 1.6.x, but I 
don't think we necessarily need to fix it in that branch.
