That's odd, for some reason, the testcase will only pass if the quotes
are escaped. I have the expression written by hand, and it's the only
way it'll work. I agree they are not a special char for regex's.

Is it because it's currently in a string when being matched? I think
that might be the case. Is there a work around for this?
