Like quote, mlquote s puts quotation marks around a string. However, it
also transforms the characters in a string so that, when printed, it
would be a valid ML lexeme.
FAILURE
Never fails
EXAMPLE
- print (quote "foo\nbar" ^ "\n");
"foo
bar"
> val it = () : unit
- print (mlquote "foo\nbar" ^ "\n");
"foo\nbar"
> val it = () : unit
