I suggest to use the only the 'foo' => '...' syntax.
Are there any arguments against this?
1. The syntaxes do NOT mean the same thing; \n inside of single quotes is interpreted as a literal; inside double quotes, it turns into a newline character. Whitespace handling inside the two is also different.
2. Use of single quotes makes wiki text messages containing bold text damn irritating, since the quotes have to be escaped... '''this is bold text''' would become '''this is bold text ''', which looks disgusting and is harder to maintain.
