Well, if they're not already doing so, I hope that new programming languages start using another delimiter for strings other than quotes. Even brackets "[]" would have been better characters to use, at least for English, since those characters aren't normally necessary.
Any standard character on the keyboard is a liability for this kind of thing. But well-written code doesn't have problems with it.
