Oh, forgot to mention, the parsing times are still lightning fast after
the fixes I mentioned: still around 1190 msecs or so.

Now I'm tempted to actually implement doubled-quote interpretation... as
long as the input file doesn't contain unreasonable amounts of doubled
quotes, I'm expecting the speed should remain pretty fast.
