Running JRuby in ruby 2.0 mode:

$> require 'yaml'
$> YAML.load('"foo\\\'bar"')
Psych::SyntaxError: (<unknown>): found unknown escape character '(39) while scanning a double-quoted scalar at line 1 column 6

Running MRI 2.0:

$> require 'yaml'
$> YAML.load('"foo\\\'bar"')
=> "foo'bar"

Guess it's not a YAML 1.1 thing, since Ruby 2.3.2 handles it fine.

According to the YAML 1.1 spec the ' is not a valid escape sequence
http://yaml.org/spec/1.1/#id872840
I did not quite catch how it works in MRI.

What is the bug tracker for MRI 2.0 to report a bug while parsing YAML ?
