Regex that looks (1) quoted strings (2) any non-space-chars:
/ [ '"' <-[ " ]> * '"' | \S+ ]
Smartmatch globally when comparing with $x
$x ~~ m:global
Since regex matches return Match object, they need their match string coerced
out with '~'.

Thank you!
May I impose on you to take apart the example and explain what each part is
doing?
