## E0197: '“' is not allowed for strings; use " instead

JavaScript string literals start with either `"` or `'` (straight quotes). It is a syntax error to use smart quotes instead of straight quotes to write a string literal:

    let name = “Alice”;
    console.log(‘hello, ’ + name);

To fix this error, replace `‘` and `’` with `'`, and replace `“` and `”` with `"`:

    let name = "Alice";
    console.log('hello, ' + name);

Introduced in quick-lint-js version 2.0.0.
