 A key point when scanning quoted strings is that you cannot (easily) write
 a single rule that will precisely match the string if you allow things
 like embedded escape sequences and newlines.  If you try to match strings
 with a single rule then you'll wind up having to rescan the string anyway
 to find any escape sequences.

+Instead you can use exclusive start conditions and a set of rules, one for
 matching non-escaped text, one for matching a single escape, one for
 matching an embedded newline, and one for recognizing the end of the
 string.  Each of these rules is then faced with the question of where to
 put its intermediary results.  The best solution is for the rules to
