Cosmetics mainly :)
In a variety of languages, lists are formed using square brackets. I
originally thought using "" would be easier because a tokeniser might
pass the entire quoted string on, but it turned out that the parsing
code in parse.c wasn't so dependant on tokenising as I had imagined.
If the entire parse code is due for a re-write, then "" might make
more sense.
