Double backslash for escaped characters

[jhamrsky]

ABNF specifies escaped characters as

escaped = escape escape-seq-char
escape = %x5C                          ; \
escape-seq-char =  escape %x22         ; "
...

but that would (AFAIK) mean, that for escaped characters user needs to write two backslashes (because escape is in fact present twice). This is somewhat in contradiction to samples available, where only one backslash is used (eg. "I'm a string. \"You can quote me\" .. ").

Is this intended or there is some part explaining that I am wrong about this one?

Indeed, that is a mistake in the ABNF. Good catch, I'll get it fixed.
