Well, I was just trying to come up with the simplest rule that would
work, and was just trying to allow " and ' so you could avoid some
extra quoting now and then when you needed one inside the other.  I
kinda feel like heading down the path of trying to emulate
shell/perl/whatever quoting behavior probably courts madness.

Though I suppose that this change wouldn't be that hard.
