Double quotes mark the contained text for special evaluation by the parser. A constant genotype is written as two numbers (1-999) or letters (a-zA-Z) separated by a slash and surrounded by quotes. Other quoted items are passed intact to be read, either as a reserved command or as a single Fortran real, so "1+3" is evaluated as 1000, and "1 1" as 11.

Example:

>> help "set ite"
set ite|bur|emi  {maximum MC|burn-in|EM iters}
>> "a/a" + 1
=>    b/b
>> a/a + 1
ERROR: token "a" not recognised.
ERROR: problematic input at line     1:
       a/a + 1

# Not a great idea

>> set loc "a a" qua
>> lis
