Yes. I hand it to you that I missed the case of explicitly unbalanced
strings.
But are not such cases rare?
No, unfortunately. }:-(
For example code such as:
print '"'
print str(something)

You still need an escape character in order to be able to embed an

Tcl and PostScript use mirrored string delimiters (braces for Tcl,
