The thing is that preserving the quoting rules while allowing to set the
delimiters makes the code very clumsy.

It would make the code much simpler if we decide that the key can not be
escaped, and has a limited length for that matter. Since the key is actually
the name of an option, it never needs to be escaped, to contain special
characters or to be overly long, so this is in no way crippling the
features.
