I have a question about the behavior of the array input routine.  How should
the input string, '{abc"def,defghi",jklmnop}' be parsed?  I would think it
should produce '{"abc\"def","defghi\"","jklmnop"}', but it currently (as of
7.3) produces '{"abcdef,defghi","jklmnop"}'.

Which should be the correct behavior?

Shouldn't a quoted string begin with a double qoute?
