The '' quote does this. It's simply impossible that an end quotation mark
can be distinguished from a literal quotation mark.
If there would be escaping of literal string end marks, t

You can't, so if it were me I would use one of perl's alternatives
for single-quoted strings, such as:
perl -e 'print q{$ and a}

That's why I constructed that example :)
I think it would be useful to have a (new, meta) quote, which fully
