Single quotes or apostrophes are now OK, double quotes are not OK.  

Gnuplot doesn't do proper i18n so handling the encoding/recoding 
when interfacing with gnuplot is a bit of a nightmare.  I've 
patched up a few things today, but I can't guarantee that things 
will work with the full generality that one would like.
