Description:
------------
Maybe it's not a bug, but a behavior change. With all PHP versions prior to 5.4.0 
the output of var_dump() for a simple string was enclosed by double quotes. With 
5.4.0 this has changed and the string is now enclosed by single quotes, except 
the string already contains a single quote

Test script:
---------------
php -r 'var_dump("Manuel");'

Expected result:
----------------
string(6) "Manuel"

Actual result:
--------------
string(6) 'Manuel'

Please try using this snapshot:

For Windows:

I can not reproduce this with 5.4-trunk.

It's likely that this is Xdebug. Could you confirm?
 [2011-11-22 13:21 UTC] mapi at pdepend dot org 
This output change only appears when xdebug is enabled.

@laruence
Sorry may fault. As @derick said, this is an xdebug related issue. When I disable 
the xdebug extension the output of PHP 5.3 and PHP 5.4 is equal.
