I agree. I pointed this out as being a problem while I was struggling
with handling string variables.  I ended up being able to work around
it, but I also think that the single-quoted-ness or double-quoted-ness
of a string should be maintained across a save/load operation.
Currently it is not, so you cannot guarantee to reproduce the current
