For me, in this case, you have dropped the wrong pair of quotes. That is, I
prefer to see the quotes used in the source text (“unexpected string 'foo' ...”
or “unexpected string "foo" ...”), over the quotes that make error messages
consistent with other error messages. This is because I like to have hints that
help me to visually identify the offending string in the source text when it is
of length 0 or 1, but on other hand I don’t care about consistency across error
messages.
