So BinaryCat raised a good point yesterday asking what was the point
of '(single-quote) if it behaves the same as "(double-quote) but for
one character, could it be used for literals instead if we can simply
"a for single raw ascii bytes.
I think that'd be a good change, my MOST frequent use of the
single-quote rune is for shortcuts routing and they're always prefixed
with LIT, I'd love to know what you think. It'll break lots of
projects and docs, but I wouldn't mind porting it all if others are
enthusiastic about this change.
Let me know what you think :)

I like the idea behind this change.
My vote would be to wait to merge this change a bit until we figure
out if Uxntal will be changing in other ways. That way authors can
update their ROMs once with a list of changes in hand versus doing
each of these one at a time.
(I don't have a sense of how much or little Uxntal might be changing
so it's possible I'm off-base here.)
