If this is going in the FAQ, I think the option of using X'7D' should be
there as well. Personally, I much prefer it -- double quotes can get
confusing, especially when the quote that you want embedded in the string
falls at the beginning or the end. Clearly differentiating the quotes that
you use to surround literals from the quotes you are trying to embed in
them makes the code easier to read (and debug), IMHO.

Just my $.02
