I'm a non-Pop-programmer following this discussion with interest.
If I'm understanding right, it's proposed that the notation
	"strawberry fields forever"
should mean three separate quoted words.

Is there a way to include a space character in a word?  This looks
like a potential ambiguity to me.  In Lisp we'd say

	'(strawberry fields forever)			3 words
	"strawberry fields forever"			1 string

to distinguish these cases.
