So which characters after # can we allow for this? The whole non-alphabetical range, including space?
I would omit space from this set. Anything printable is sufficient, IMHO :)
Perhaps another possibility is to allow tuples - i.e. if special character is doubled immediately after this quote spec it must be doubled to end it (this will help in case when somebody can't choose good enough quoting character, i.e. the string contains all special characters).
I hope nobody will really want to specify empty strings this way, and this will be easily dectected by the compiler anyway :)
#/some \unescaped and "quoted" chars/ #//some text with / in it//
Kind of... :)
