Summary: Bug in string literal 'c' 

Initial Comment:
Evaluation of string literal 'c' should return
"c".  However, if in IRB you type 'c'..... and
it returns the following prompt to you

irb(main):001:0> 'c'
irb(main):002:0' 


However, if you enter 'd', it returns "d" as
you'd expect.

irb(main):003:0> 'd'
=> "d"
irb(main):004:0> 


My guess is because it is expecting that 'c' is the
beginning of 'cx' (which has a substitution in double-quote
literals).... but there is never that additional character
following 'c'

Note the following occurs when any character follows 'c'

irb(main):010:0> 'ca'
=> "ca"
