Clarify for quoting examples

Browse Source

more sense when used inside a double-quoted string. If the string is
quoted with single quotes, one could of course just write 'wt"f'
withouth requiring any escaping.

- In a usual python string, the backslash is used to escape characters that may have a special meaning (like single-quote, double-quote, and the backslash itself).
```py
>>> 'wt\"f'
>>> "wt\"f"
'wt"f'
```
