Quotes in the stream are a great debug hint, without blowing up.
They actually terrible for debugging for exactly the same reason as coercion in Python 2. It's rarely what you really want, it silently succeeds, and it means that the user visible error is far removed from the actual bug, both in code distance and time. So yes, it tells you Something Went Wrong, but is actually a hindrance to finding and fixing the problem.
