Okay, I agree with your disagree. I have no idea what this means,
though:

strings = [
"abc",
%q("abc")
]
results = strings.map do |str|
str.inspect
end
p results
results.each do |str|
puts str
end
--output:--
["\"abc\"", "\"\\\"abc\\\"\""]
"abc"
"\"abc\""
The second element in the array is hard to interpret: if you strip away
what inspect added to the first string, you get:
\\\"abc\\\"
I guess \\ is a literal slash and \' is an escaped quote.
