Strange Substitution Issue

[schetnikovich]

In the latest Marko versions and in some cases and words in templates are replaced with && symbols.

For this template:

We're young.
<div>
    You and me are friends and teammates.
</div>

The following *.marko.js file will be generated:

out.w('We\'re\' \'young. <div>You && me are friends && teammates.</div><div style="color:blue">You '

Necessary Conditions

1. You should use marko-layout module.
2. You should have unpaired ' symbol in your template.

There are probably other conditions, when this issue happens, but I know only one set of conditions.

Minimal project

Here I prepared a minimal project that will help to reproduce this issue:
https://github.com/schetnikovich/marko-substitution-poltergeist

Reasons

I don't know actual reason of this problem, but for the end user this is because of ' symbol, that
makes all subsequent and words be replaced by && symbol.

If you'll "close" single quotes, i.e. We'are' young - everything will be correct.

Workaround

Replace all single quotes with the following:

$("'")
