Yes, this is the reason that you should never use double quotes for
strings, because valid looking strings produce errors that take one
forever to figure out why they are a syntax error:

IDL> print, "22 monkeys"

print, "22 monkeys"
^
% Syntax error.

As far as I know, there is no equivalent notation for binary or
hexadecimal values, just the '100'b and 'FF'h notations.
