String Values

string = ` {escape_sequence | character} '
character = any ASCII character apart from \ or ' or eol

Strings are enclosed within matching single quotes and may not span source lines. Problem characters such as ' are included in strings by means of escape sequences. Escape sequences can also be used to include non-printable characters.
