The normalized syntax is {{buildSelect values="a,b,c"/}}
If you don't put the quotes around parameter values they are added
automatically for you. That's why you'd get the following:
{{buildSelect values="["a","b","c"]"/}}
And this explains why you need to escape the quotes if you use them inside a
parameter value.
Right now AFAIK only strings are supported as parameter type when the macro is
used in wiki syntax.
