A quote in a comment makes the cell inactive

[nthiery]

If a comment contains a quote, then evaluating the cell does nothing:

This seems to be an issue with upstream cling.

For the record: this has evolved slightly: now evaluating the cell triggers an InterpreterError. Has it been reported upstream? I tried reproducing it with cling but I am not sure this is very useful:

[cling]$ /* ' */
[cling]$ ?

For the record: this is still failing with conda 0.7 and xeus-cling 0.10.0.

[nthiery]

For the record: the example above now works smoothly with cling 0.8 and xeus-cling 0.13.0.

I tried a few other examples without failure. So I am assuming that this is fixed and the issue can be closed.
