Incorrect.  Even for the lowest-of-low programmer bit-heads, it is a pain
to work around the problem of how to quote text inside quoted text.  It’s
an ugly mix of single and/or double quotes and/or backslashes to escape
the two.

pi:~ droleary$ echo "this is a "nightmare""
this is a nightmare
pi:~ droleary$ echo 'this is a "nightmare"'
this is a "nightmare"
pi:~ droleary$ echo "this is a \"nightmare\""
this is a "nightmare"

pi:~ droleary$ echo “this would “ad” a lot”
“this would “ad” a lot”
