This is how the Net-SNMP library knows how to interpret this
index as a string. The OID above is equivalent to the numeric
index values:
nsExtendOutputFull.4.65.78.74.74
By contract, single quotes are used to indicate an *implicit*
length index string. So
nsExtendOutputFull.\'extt\'
would be equivalent to
nsExtendOutputFull.65.78.74.74
(although that is not appropriate for this particular table).
If you have problems with passing quoted strings, it's
perfectly acceptable to use numeric instance subidentifiers.
