HIi there,

I was only concerned about the behavior of "

Yes, I caught it at first time.

looking through some sample configs, then finally summarized my

However, are you saying that we can still use " to enclose multi word
arguments, and let these words contain ' without escaping?

Yes, but I want multi word arguments can be unqouted, too.
eg.:
option = good value
option = good'n better values # comment
option = "bad value
option =  still"bad value


that would be a very nice compromise: this way " is still use to (optionally) enclose arguments, and if " is part of the argument it should be escaped. While ' can be used as it is (which is what you need, I seem to understand).
