Did you change the string parsing code? Because with current windows
snapshot the follwing snippet no longer works:
<script>
string a="\"
</script>
Yes, I considered that I had found a bug, in that you couldn't set
a string to contain literal quotes by doing, e.g.
string quotefoo = "\"foo\""
That's now fixed, but it has broken the idiom you mentioned. But
I think that would be better done as
string a = "\\"
This doesn't yet work right, but it will soon.
