What I'd really like to know is if it would require multiple releases to properly handle changing their behavior. If my currently limited understanding of Lexer.cpp is correct, people are -already- being warned about using single quoted strings, so I wouldn't feel bad about that behavior changing out from under them to suddenly be unescaped. 

Correct, there is no released version of swift that used ‘’ for anything, feel free to send a PR that rips them out completely.
