Json.Decoder.string doesn't support escaped double quotes

[matasar]

Elm version: 0.17.1
Browsers: Safari, Chrome, Firefox

I made a simple test case to show what I mean. Based on the error, it seems like it might be not treating the quotation mark as escaped. I tried \x22 and see the same error as well.

import Json.Decode exposing (..)
import Html exposing (text)

errorCase = """
"escaped quote: \"."
"""

value = decodeString string errorCase
main = Html.text <| toString value

I'm very new to Elm, so I might be doing something obviously stupid with Elm, but using \ to escape double quotes is legal Json as far as such a thing exists.

Update: As I play with this more, I think the problem isn't with JSON at all but is that the """ for multiline strings has escaping behavior I didn't expect.

Thanks for the issue! Make sure it satisfies this checklist. My human colleagues will appreciate it!

Here is what to expect next, and if anyone wants to comment, keep these things in mind.
