I think that the commas and semi-colons are escaped, so they can be  
sent around via the Pd message system and survive AFAIK.  So [text]  
would probably work well for writing in queries by hand.

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of  
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an  
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps  
it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into  
the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess  
himself of it.            - Thomas Jefferson
