Replaces double quotes on problematic regex strings (mostly ones that have escape sequences that are easier to preserve in single quotes). Necessitates also changing single quotes to `.`, i.e match any.
For some (mostly ones that only have a single escaped character, or were using `\.` to match a literal fullstop) keep the double quotes and fix the regex instead.
Calling log_signal is problematic for several reasons:
- with recent changes, empty string is serialized as { }, which violates
the "no spaces in IdString" rule
- the type (plain / real / signed / string) is dropped, wrongly conflating
functionally different values and potentially introducing a subtle
elaboration bug
Instead, use a custom simple serialization scheme.
