Because *intuitively* what is happening is the quotation marks are
being removed or added:
"[foo: "Bar"]" <--> [foo: "Bar"]
Regardless of what might be happening under the hood, the *intuitive*
sense is that two ASCII chars are being removed or added to the
contents of the variable.
On reflection of course it's considerably more complicated than that,
but to a cursory thought one ASCII more or less would seem to take
much less time to do than processing an n-length repeat loop.
BTW I don't suppose *you* have any ideas why Dir851 would roll up on
OSX when things are being dragged between windows, do you? ;)
