Now compare that with Lie Ryan's examples which, instead of using
backslashes, instead used alternative quotes plus backslashes in one

literal quotes, and backslashes. As opposed to my original routine, which
managed three levels of quoting using just backslashes. Do you begin to
understand what I mean by "scalable"?

I do, and I still disagree.  More importantly, Lie Ryan's examples were
much more readable, which is what I was complaining about.
