Details:


textscan('hello, world; apologies for the inconvenience', '%s%s',
'endofline',"\n");
textscan('hello, world; apologies for the inconvenience', '%s%s',
'endofline','\n');


The first line works; the second, using single quotes for the end-of-line
character, fails with an error:


error: textscan: illegal EndOfLine character value specified
error: called from
    textscan at line [y] column [x]
