+                    range = factory.createStringLiteral(stringLiteral.text, !!nodeSourceFile && !isStringDoubleQuoted(stringLiteral, nodeSourceFile)) as Node as T;


This could instead use factory.createStringLiteralFromNode(stringLiteral) as that should pull the string's text from its original file.

We looked at this in the design meeting; the general consensus is that this is good for declaration files, but the fact that error messages are changing quote styles seems to be wrong; we should try and make diagnostic type printing normalize to " quotes because that's what our messages assume happen.

I'm surprised to see symbol baselines change; were we inconsistent with these before?

Symbol printing is involved in type printing and error printing. I applied the 'preserve source code delimiters in everything except errors' to the symbol printing too. This does mean that the delimiters are now preserved in symbol baselines where they previously were not.

Were they always replaced before? Don't think so. Some error messages used symbol printing for the property names and we can see in error baselines changes that some of those kept the ' delimiter instead of having it replaced with "

-              "kind": "stringLiteral"
+              "kind": "propertyName"
            },


This is funky; I'm not sure how much this matters in practice, though...

Agreed, but it was already the case that some strings would be marked as things other than text in display parts.

Before, in symbol printing, some identifiers were created that didn't actually have an identifier valid text (identifier name was a string including delimiters). These identifiers had their symbol set, and during display part emit, they were marked as whatever kind of symbol they had attached. However this did not happene for all string created during symbol printing. So we had some parts of symbol names as identifiers with symbol and invalid text, and some as string literals with no symbol.

Now, I create string literals and number literals for all symbol names which are not valid identifiers and set the symbol on those too. This does mean that some parts of the symbol name now have the symbol attached to then (where before they did not) and can have the correct kind set in display parts.

These are the changes in symbolToExpression in checker.ts and the changes to emitLiteral in emitter.ts

I read through all of the baselines; mostly seems correct, with some odd escaping changes, and I would like someone familiar with those displayParts to weigh in on those changes.
