I partially agree. Anyway I see nothing Gänsehaut-prone about
concatenating single-quoted strings, such as
print 'text '.$var.' more text '.$arr['foo'].' '.$obj->bar.'st time';
It is IMO a good habit if somebody does not want to run into the
questions discussed above, and there seem to be even performance reasons
for it:

But I admit, the above $sql example with double quotes originates in my
early insecureness about if double quotes would work inside an SQL
query, so I got used to double-quote those and use single quotes inside.
