conditionals can be terminated with F" now in addition to a single-quote (')
This is useful when writing small macros directly on the
command-line as in `sciteco --eval`. If you use double quoted shell
strings, too many characters have to be escaped.
If you use single-quotes, though, embedding the conditional end (')
is annoying -- it would have to be written as '\''.
