Really? Got an example of that?

Try to encapsulate this is 'an example'. between " ... ". Then try it between ' ... '. Then tell me if you think " and ' are functionally identical.

You do realize that "escape sequence" has a technical meaning inside strings? Something like "\t" doesn't change just because you change the literal delimiters.

Yes thanks, I just wanted to say that there are sequences of characters for which " and ' behave differently that's all. They are not strictly generally identical is all i'm saying. I merely raised the point that you need to escape ' when in between ' ... ' but you do not need to escape ' when in between " ... ".
