It seems more specific -- like: ['"][^ \t]*["'] where the first quote is the closing quote from a string on an earlier line (because if I put any white space in between the closing and opening quote, "ksh -n" is happy).
I'm not completely understanding the logic of doing this-- is the thought that if someone puts whitespace in, they must have really meant to have a multi-line string? An aside: this is only an issue for me because nmake's default rules run "ksh -n" on shell scripts before installing them. And because I'm a bit OCD about keeping linting tools happy with my code.
