Yeah, it's not obvious that those quote marks are really data
characters. I wonder whether we could get away with tweaking array_out
to consider single-quote marks as being grounds for quoting an array
element. Then you would have seen a result like
?column?
---------------------
{"'joe'", "'bob'"}
which might at least have given you an inkling of what was happening.
