Hi list!

I'm currently playing around with the new channel support and came across 
something I do not fully understand. Playing around with the demoserver.py I 
tried to send a command to my vim-instance via feedkeys. The original command 
was:

:call feedkeys("ggOHello, world!\e")

>From within vim this works. I tried to enter it in the server stdin as:

["ex", "..."]

and had to fight with the nested quotes. The special character "\e" is only 
accepted within double-quotes. So I tried to include the whole call-command in 
single quotes which is not accepted by the default handler leaving me with

["ex", 'call feedkeys("ggOHello, world!\e")']                                   
   
> Decoding failed - discarding input

in the ch_log. A working version is

["ex", "call feedkeys(\"ggOHello, world!\\e\")"]                                
 

with a lot of escapes. I do not understand why the first solution does not work.

Tanks
