It is in dictd, but I'm not sure if it is a bug or a feature. The
parser is expecting a TOKEN_STRING, which the scanner can provide as
from either a word (can't contain a @) or a string (which must be
quoted). I will try to decide if the scanner needs to be liberalized,
but in the mean time, try this:

We can also override the "00-database-info" line. This is what is
returned from a "dict -i <database-name>" query. Do you think that is
desirable? Unfortunately, I don't see a way of making it optional.
