This is actually an interesting problem that will require some
cleanup to handle.  The lexer was somewhat smarter than the quoting
engine and handled '_', '$', and if the convention allowed it
accepted '.'.  XL also allows '?' and '\\'.

We'll need to make the quoting depend on the convention and sync
those operations.  I don't see us ever handling some of the funky
characters correctly but we should get ascii correct.
