Hi there,

I sometimes ponder the difference between " and everything else, regarding 
whitespace after the word. It's particularly disconcerting when using parsing 
words like R", which do require the space.

Since in the standard library there are only 6 words containing ", I propose 
the following parsing change: Treat " as end of word. This would generalise 
quotes so that we can write R".*", which to me is a lot less confusing than R" 
.*".

I don't believe anyone would write a word named R"blah", because of how 
confusing that looks.

Would this be worth implementing?

Luke
