Hmmm... I can think of many different kinds of quotes off the top of my
head. Some languages have initial double-quotes level with the
baseline, rather than "up in the air". Some quotes are left-leaning,
some are right-leaning. « » come to mind.
Slashes are more straight-forward. But what if a font-name starts out
with two slashes? Do both have to be escaped, or can just the first
one be escaped?
