HOCON double quotes vs single quotes

[Roger Alsing]

According to the HOCON Spec, and JSON Spec, only double quotes " are supported for quoted strings.

We on the .NET side of things have seen this beeing brought up a few times now.

That is, people beleive that single quotes are allowed.

e.g 

`loggers = ['F.Q.N, Assembly']`

Which is parsed as: 'F.Q.N,

As it is treated as an unquoted hocon string which ends after the ","

Does the JVM HOCON Parser allow this even though it is not mentioned in the spec?

And if not, would it be OK to add support for this?

Hi Roger,

I think you should ask this on the GH page of typesafe-config: https://github.com/typesafehub/config

We are not aware of all the design decisions and their rationale, so Havoc probably is the right person to ask (just file a ticket on that repo).
