This will only fail for cases where there are multiple opening and
closing quotes.
Is that our case?
BTW I usually prefer code that is more expressive:
if val.startswith('"'):
val = val[1:]
if val.endswith('"'):
val = val[:-1]
On a tangent note, since the C++20 standard strings have the
starts_with and ends_with methods. :-)
