Given that "[a]ny other character in a string after a backslash is a syntax violation.", it seems a bit superfluous. What do you report as the error for `(with-input-from-string "\"foo\\ bar\"" read)' ? Seems easier and clearer to get ERROR: #<unknown port>:1:7: illegal character in escape sequence: #\space or the like as the error.
