Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-739:
---------------------------------------
I think we should support quoting and escaping of quotes. We should continue
to support unquoted literals as long as they conform to current rules. Then
users can use whatever characters they like and characters like . are reserved
for future use. If we allow dot and slash now, they will be lost for future
use.

A & ('B.C' | 'B.D')
{noformat}
I will create a patch supporting quoting for consideration later this week.
