I quote, therefore I am

Here's a lil' gem that's radically simplified a lot of my code:

function q s
  return quote& s &quote
end q
To call it:

  put "I said, "& q("Let's go!")

...as opposed to:

  put "I said, "& quote&"Let's go!"&quote

A small improvement, but a but more pleasing to the tired eye. :)



I find this nifty as hell. A lil' gem indeed. To take revenge on my 
struggles with quotes in the past I wrote:

on mouseUP
  put "I quote, therefore I am." into tMessage
  repeat 8 times
    put q(tMessage) into tMessage
  end repeat
  put  tMessage into field 1
end mouseUP
function q s
  return quote& s &quote
end q
And in field  1 I took some perverse satisfaction in finding: 
""""""""I quote, therefore I am.""""""""
