yep, that's why next_token() in Samba handles quoted
string. next_token() is Samba's internal strtok() style parser. I
think you'll find that putting " quotes around lists works in most
places in Samba (it should work in all places, but I bet we missed
some)

well, it should be fairly consistent, as it should always be using the
same next_token() routine. If it isn't then its a bug and we can fix
it :-}

still, adding a P_SLIST type would probably be cleaner.
