If you are algorithmically generating your strings (so that you
don't necessarily know what quote characters are used inside them
ahead of time), I think the best thing would be to always expand
all instances of " or ', within the string, to \" and \'
respectively. Then you can use any style of outer quote you want
and it shouldn't break. And I think it is a clearer style than
using chr().
