Hi Ric.  I'm willing to change it to '...' just to make those unit  
tests readable again!  However, we should focus on what is better for  
the people that specify a grammar.  Most people will be used to  
seeing double quotes for strings but the double quotes around a char  
(particularly in a "0".."9" situation) will seem unusual.  The other  
way, actually might not bother people 'int' and 'begin' actually  
immediately make you say "oh, they are using single quote for string  
character".   Hmm...did I just convince myself to spend 4 hours  
changing tests/examples/code to single quotes?  Argh!  Ok, we better  
wait until people come back to work on Monday to decide this.  I'm  
all ears as we say...suggestions?

What would double quotes be useful for?  I guess we reserve that for  
the future.
