At least inside R single and double quotes are equivalent.

That's because it's in R-lang:
String constants are delimited by a pair of single (@samp{'}) or double
(@samp{"}) quotes and can contain all other printable characters.
Quotes and other special characters within strings are specified using
@emph{escape sequences}:
A single quote may also be embedded directly in a double-quote delimited
string and vice versa.
It is possible that a front-end processor is interfering here, and so what
is typed is not reaching R unchanged.
