So if you paste this as a comment somewhere you don’t have to manually add double double-quotes.
I don’t use the result of print it at all, but I guess there are two scenarios for it’s usage. One as you described: copy the result and use it in tests or in some further computation. (but if you use TDD test are already written ;P). Another one is to copy the result and paste it somewhere as a comment in your code, to access it easily afterwards. If you have a double quote in your result it will break the comment, so the thing is escaped automatically.
