Escaping double quotes that form part of a rowkey in hbase shell

Hi there,

I've got a rowkey in byte array format that contains double quotes in
the string representation. I know that generally for these kind of
rowkeys, enclosing them in double quotes when doing a get on hbase
shell does the trick. Doing the intuitive thing and escaping these
additional double-quotes with backslashes does not seem work, nor does
using single quotes instead.

This is a seemingly simple problem, but I can't seem to get it working.
