What "escaping treatment"? Can you cite a reference that says
explicitly that a string literal is treated differently depending
on whether it's contained inside single or double quotes?
Neither the ECMA standard nor the Netscape JavaScript reference
have anything I can find to indicate this...
(quoted from) Standard ECMA-262:
7.8.4 String Literals
A string literal is zero or more characters enclosed in
single or double quotes. Each character may be represented
by an escape sequence.
TIA!
