Yeah.  I'm not sure that we're ever going to support that part of the
spec; doing so would break too many useful things without adding very
much useful functionality.

We could possibly do it if we restrict to ASCII-superset character sets
(not UTF-16 for instance), so that the string quoting boundaries can be
found without hardwired knowledge about every character set.
