There's a couple of issue reports where people are wanting to delete the single quotes thing.

But rather than deleting the single quote thing, I'd prefer to read a rationale in the Ruby style guide as to why single quotes are better. Is it a performance thing? Or ensuring that strings aren't going to launch the missiles without warning that they do so?

I think the discussion on this pull request was the most recent one where the merits of each approach were brought up.
