Failure to parse escaped single quote in a string

[Former user]

See https://github.com/jruby/jruby/issues/2199

Here's the example run from JRuby IRB:

irb(main):002:0> YAML.load('"foo\\\'bar"')
Psych::SyntaxError: (<unknown>): found unknown escape character '(39) while scanning a double-quoted scalar at line 1 column 6
    from org/jruby/ext/psych/PsychParser.java:227:in `parse'

This is Ruby code, but it should be simple enough to reproduce in SnakeYAML directly. The error message is from SnakeYAML.

Sorry, didn't realize I wasn't logged in. This is my bug report.

What is the expected result ? Why does Ruby expect

to be ignored ? Is it a way to include single quote in the result ?
