Isn't that the problem? The qdstrings are allowed to contain all the 
seperation characters in any combination they like. How then to detect the 
end of the qdstring?

And those special words may also exist inside a qdstring.

I am sure that we can define a reasonable approach by adding restrictions 
on qdstrings.

However, I am really missing something if there is a way of parsing this 
'as is'.
