Follow-up Comment #6, bug #33611 (project octave):
It's too bad Matlab compatibility has to make printf inconsistent with it's
string quoting. I don't think there's a good way to make the function smarter
with this constraint.
Double quote, double backslash doesn't workaround. I think the EDITOR
function immediately performs escape processing and then always returns a
single-quote result.
My workaround is to specify the directory using forward slash as the
separator. I'm using the mingw distribution 3.6.1 and this seems to work on
my Windows7 x64 machine:
EDITOR('C:/Program Files (x86)/Vim/vim73/gvim.exe');
