-----------------------------------------------------------

I can confirm that:

{code:java}
l.add("\\");
{code}

does not output:
{code:java}
"\\"
{code}

But instead:

does not output:
{code:java}
"\"
{code}

which causes an EOFException in the parser if you try to read it back.

But I thought that anything goes inside of quotes, which is the point of quoting...

Thoughts?
