// or InputBuffer
//
// <character-string> is expressed in one or two ways: as a contiguous set
// of characters without interior spaces, or as a string beginning with a "
// and ending with a ".  Inside a " delimited string any character can
// occur, except for a " itself, which must be quoted using \ (back slash).
