In the file format specification at [1] via [2], we specify the following for string escapes:
> Here is a legal string with an embedded quote: leg"23 > Here is the same string quoted, and because it is quoted the internal > quote must be duplicated: "leg""23" This is NOT how we are actually quoting strings: we are using \". I suggest updating the format document rather than the code, because: 1) This avoids changing any actual files we write 2) Escaping quotes with "" is weird, especially considering we use backslash escapes in other places - be consistent But no matter how we fix it, this should be fixed; people are using these format documents to implement parsers (I just spoke to one).
