Within an apostrophe-framed string the special treatment of numerous characters 
such as
comma, parentheses, and the apostrophe itself is suspended, perhaps using TRT.

I was focusing more on the SDSF API than on MGCR.  But both may need changes, 
for similar
reasons: SDSF to allow an arbitrary string as an operator command; MGCR tp 
allow an
