PS: Double-quotes are reserved for in-string property access, like "message is $msg", as known from a couple of languages. I have to admit I am no longer sure that's really a good idea...

I think that would be a nice thing to have, but until that's available, simply making " do the same as ' would eliminate a lot of user errors. Adding the in-string property access at a later time would not break anything that was using double quotes before

well, unless they used $, but that's something that you can document when " are allowed, and since it's a common issue with other languages, it's not going to surprise people. you could even disallow $ inside double quotes until then if you wanted.
