I took it to mean that such a quote is literal, and should be present in 
the string provided by argv.  If I were to pass that line to 
CommandLineToArgvW, I would expect it either to fail because the first 
(and only) argument is quoted, but does not have a closing quote, or 
succeed by inferring the missing quote, yielding the following list of 
one argument:

c:\program files\\\" world

Again, I took it to mean that the first two rules produce the same 
result, so \\\" and \\" both produce \".

I haven't looked in detail at it, but do note your comment:

From

Where are you getting the notion that the first two rules imply 
different quotes?  I interpret both as being literal (inner, right?).
