single quotes in Duik's expressions -> bug in AE

Hi Duduf,
I am a happy supporter of Duik 15 and I am excited for the new crowdfunding campaign starting soon!
As I was testing Sander van Dijk's new plugin "Ray Dynamic Texture", Duik's expressions broke and Lloyd Alvarez told me: "The issue is because Duik writes expressions using single quotes and there is a bug in After Effects that does not update expressions with single quotes when renaming effects, it only does it when the expression is written with double quotes." Problem is, RDT does rename the effects of the layers and now the expressions are not getting updated automatically. Lloyd was so kind to add an option to deactivate the renaming for now, but maybe this issue corresponding to AE's bug could cause trouble in other cases as well..?
As he also says and we all know, Adobe isn't that fast with updates, I was wondering, if you are using the single quotes for a specific reason or could this be changed to double quotes? ...sorry, I don't know the advantages of single vs double quotes in general…
Thanks Duduf, cheers, Lars.
