In words, a string literal is bounded by quotes and contains any string of printable characters, except that when quotes occur inside the string literal, they occur in adjacent pairs. Each such adjacent quote pair denotes a single quote in the value denoted by strlit, whereas any other printable character between the bounding quotes denotes itself. An empty string is denoted by exactly two quotes.
