[PD] why no quoting mechanism?

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I know this has been discussed before, but I just wanted to throw this  
question out there again:  why doesn't Pd have a quoting mechanism?  I  
think Max uses regular "" double quotes and I haven't heard too many  
complaints.  What are the pitfalls or hangups?  Perhaps its related to  
Pd not having an escape mechanism.

Is it just a matter of someone implementing it, or is there something  
else?
