[plt-scheme] " vs ||

'|3 4 " 5| =DrScheme v200=> waits for more input. Seems to me it should
produce |3 4 " 5|.  The only way I've found to get |3 4 " 5| is with
(string->symbol "3 4 \" 5").  Is this correct behavior?

Also, what's the chance of getting PLT to support literal symbols?  I'd
like  #/a b \/c\\d/ to evaluate to the symbol |a b /c\d|.  I know I could
use quote, but that would not accomplish my purpose.
