> More than a few years, the issue of escaping quotes in interpolated strings
> was discussed at some length. Eventually, the list came to a consensus that
> we should escape them by doubling them, since this would be (or at least very
> nearly be) backwards compatible and provide a simple solution for this
> much-wanted feature.
> Geir had working code for this and even posted a test jar, IIRC. So, many of
> us thought that this had made it into the 1.5 codebase. But the code never
> got checked in and may have been lost. Assuming Geir can't find the old code
> or the time to duplicate the effort, we should still try to implement this.
> This issue is open to remind us of that. If i get around to digging up links
> to the relevant threads, i will post those in the comments of this issue.
