"Fix text pasted into string literals" - what does it do?

Question

What does the following setting do in Visual Studio?

Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > Advanced > Editor Help > Fix text pasted into string literals (experimental)

I didn't see it "fix" things I paste into a " ". Perhaps in certain cases?

Answer 1

This attempts to escape characters inserted into string literals that are not legal there, such as quotes or single backspaces. Unfortunately, the option pages are very poorly documented. The documentation page states

Not all options may be listed here.

Which, at least, is honest...
