Component/s: streaming expressions

Labels:None
Streaming expressions expect all special characters in named parameter values to be singly escaped. Since queries can contain strings surrounded by double quotes, double-escaping is necessary.
Given the following query:
summary:"\"This is a summary\"+"
A streaming expression would require surrounding the query with double quotes, therefore every special character in the query should be escaped:
select(collection,q="\"\\\"This is a summary\\\"\\\+\"",....)
Streaming expressions should unescape the strings contained within double quotes, however currently they are only unescaping \" -> ". Therefore it is impossible to query for text fields containing double quotes. Also other special characters are not unescaped; this inconsistency causes confusion.
