But I admit, the parser would have to know that key is a string to change it back.
Adding two bytes to each string field (beginning and ending delimiters) is too big a burden? Instead we have to rely on difficult to manage tables to tell the parser it's a string? The 2 byte penalty might have had weight in 1970, but not in 2007.
If we're really arguing over how many bytes a record consumes then we should switch to a binary protocol instead of text. Oh and by the way, in a binary protocol you would likely prefix string data with a length field, so you're going to end up using a couple of bytes anyway.
