It occurs to me that I wasn't thinking about the effects of
double-quoted identifiers. Should dot, star, and question mark
be taken as non-special characters if they're inside double quotes?
(Probably.) Does that mean that we don't need backslash-oriented
escaping conventions? (Maybe; would people expect 'em anyway?)
Any other implications I missed? (Very likely.)
