Subject: "'" prints as "\'"
Message-ID: <199712171028.LAA01254@sophie.ethz.ch>

(This reported before).
In R,
	"'"
prints as

[1] "\'"

which is different from S, and is really unnecessary.
((it is just now uglyfying the output of a function which I wrote for S
  and now use in R)).

Is there any good reason for the current behavior?
