This is actually a quite clever "ab"use of existing quotes.

Just a friendly sidenote:

Never expect anything. It _might_ be possible that filenames
such as

	foo "bar" blah.txt
	"meow" 123.dat
	doodle "boo" .c++
	-my brain hurts ."tar".gz

exist in the heap of files to be processed. Selecting a good
delimiter for input files is hard. Using the "IFS = \n" approach
works - as long as there are no newlines in filenames (which
I'm not sure could also be allowed)... ;-)
