But that's different from:
 address value 'fruit' /* Sets the environment to FRUIT */
Quoting makes a difference, and is often prudent.

 address value 'fruit' /* Sets the environment to fruit */

I don't know what ANSI has to say about this.  I feel that
case of quoted strings should be preserved.
