From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> In parsing the print fmt parameters, the code currently treats both single and double quotes the same. But they are not. Double quotes represent strings and single quotes represent characters. A character could be used as a number as well, so it needs to be treated as such.
