quoting of names in .hgrc

[Stefan van der Walt]

Hi,

I often forget that strings arn't quoted in .hgrc.  My username then
is parsed as "blah at blah.com" instead of blah at blah.com.

Would it be viable to run the user string through two simple regular
expressions first, in order to remove quote marks?  Something like

import re
     
q1 = re.compile('^"[^"]*"$')
q2 = re.compile("^'[^']*'$")

if (re.match(q1, name) or re.match(q2, name)):
    name = name[1:-1]

This way, names like Me "Nickname" <...> or "Me" Myself "I" are left
intact, but the quotes are removed from names like "asdads
<blah at blah.com>".

Regards
Stéfan
