That's why I like triple quotes.  Single and double embedded quotes are 
ok.  In fact I'd provide an alternate syntax that harkened back to the 
Unix shell 'here document':

  String s = <<< ident """A string with "s in it.""" ident <<<;

Now you can adapt the closing delimiter so it doesn't duplicate any 
substring portion of your constant.  No escapes are ever required this 
way.  Even triple quotes can be embedded arbitrarily.
