making the program 'smarter' than the user is always a bad idea.
the application has no idea when that variable really needs quoting and
just blindly applies a rule that may lead to undesired results.
the important factor to consider when implementing such features is if the
user will be able to do it the other way (without quotes in this case),
or will he be forced to the program's way and have no way around it.
