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.)
