21.4.1 String Read Syntax
-------------------------
The read syntax for strings is an arbitrarily long sequence of
characters enclosed in double quotes (`"'). (1) If you want to insert
a double quote character into a string literal, it must be prefixed
with a backslash `\' character (called an "escape character").
The following are examples of string literals:
"foo"
"bar plonk"
"Hello World"
"\"Hi\", he said."
---------- Footnotes ----------
(1) Actually, the current implementation restricts strings to a
length of 2^24 characters.
