But putting quotes around a string value is obviously not

What if the string contains a quote? "hell\"o" would become
`"hell"o"`!
Would would you want it be become?
Don't understand. Did you mean "Would would you want it be
become"?
I think he meant that he *wanted* it to become "hell\"o". I said:
"why don't you just print `"%s"`, to which he retorted by saying
it would choke on his input of `hell"o`, which would print:
"hell"o"
Which would be wrong.
