I would say the problem is with the way REPL deals with printing the array,
not the definition. See below, when part of array is printed on it's own
all seems well.
julia> a=["\"hello\"", "world\""]
2-element Array{ASCIIString,1}:
"\"hello\""
"world\""
julia> a[1]
"\"hello\""
julia> print(a[1])
"hello"
julia> print(a)
"""hello"""
world"
