Description

Might be related to #991, which as I understand was fixed in v1.4.0, but bug still exists in read_table2

reprex:

#works as expected:
readr::read_table2('dummy\nvar1 var2 var3\n1 2 3\n4 5 6\n', skip = 1)
#> # A tibble: 2 x 3
#>    var1  var2  var3
#>   <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
#> 1     1     2     3
#> 2     4     5     6

#fails, note the unpaired quotes after `dummy`
readr::read_table2('dummy"\nvar1 var2 var3\n1 2 3\n4 5 6\n', skip = 1)
#> Warning: Missing column names filled in: 'X1' [1]
#> # A tibble: 0 x 1
#> # ... with 1 variable: X1 <chr>

Base R read.table works as expected, btw.
