[Attempto] Escaping double quotes in ACE strings

[Tobias Kuhn]

Hi Juri,

No, at the moment there is no escaping mechanism for strings. This means that strings cannot contain 
double quotes.

It wouldn't be hard to implement such an escaping mechanism. However, I am not sure whether this is 
the way to go. ACE is designed to be natural and escaping is not natural at all.
