Summary

write_literal doesn't correctly handle raw strings.

Reproducer

I tried this code:

writeln!(
                pre,
                "{}",
                r#"
$#CON colcheck "Use the sum of col {{index[0]}} for {{index[1]}}"
find colcheck: matrix indexed by [int(1..width), ALLRANGE] of bool"#
                "
            )?;

I expected write_literal to rewrite this to valid Rust. Instead, this happened:

writeln!(
                pre,
                "
$#CON colcheck \\"Use the sum of col {{{{index[0]}}}} for {{{{index[1]}}}}\\"
find colcheck: matrix indexed by [int(1..width), ALLRANGE] of bool"
            )?;

My preference would be to just leave the raw string as is, I can't see why that wouldn't be the easist, and least-suprising option.

This problem appears to happen even for non-raw strings, like in this example:

writeln!(pre, "{}", "x with braces {x}")?;

Clippy suggests replacing it with

writeln!(pre, "{}", "x with braces {{x}}")?;
