I forgot to explain what I want:
1. I need a way to distinguish between "astring" and "astring_list"
2. If the value is a "astring_list" I need the number of elements in the
"astring_list"
3. I need a way to access individual elements in the "astring_list" by
index number
Note the whole stuff needs to work even if the value nodes contain
special (shell) characters like { <space>, <tab>, <newline>,
'vertical_tab' '\\', '\''
etc. } ...
