Re: [DISC] Escaping #$#

[Erik Ostrom <eostrom@research.att.com>]

Okay.  So one implementation of this would be to add code to the server:

  #define OUT_OF_BAND_QUOTE_PREFIX "#$\""

Lines beginning with OUT_OF_BAND_QUOTE_PREFIX have the prefix removed and
are then sent to #0:do_command and/or the built-in command parser, even if
(once the prefix is removed) they begin with OUT_OF_BAND_PREFIX or
OUT_OF_BAND_QUOTE_PREFIX.

I vote for putting this in the spec (although I'm not too fond of #$" as
the actual prefix), and also implementing it in the MOO server.  I'll talk
to the server maintainer about this soon--I have lunch with him on Monday.

Objections?
