Hello,

if you want some code that can correctly identify matching quotation
marks, regular expressions don't have enough expressive power to
describe that behaviour (you would need something like PEGs to do this).

And writing the code that recognizes matching quotation marks in CMake
is probably a pure nightmare. A fully fledged programming language would
be nicer for that task...

cu,
Thomas
