Okay, and now I've patched the related string splitting functions so that
("let's get \"ready to rumble\" now")
is split into:
("let's" "get" "ready to rumble" "now")
All my tests are passing but a few unrelated ones are failing so I'll need
to dig more into what's going on there. Attached is the 3rd patch
