Hello,

What's a (good) way to convert this:

  'a quick "brown fox" jumped "over the lazy" dog'

into this:

  [ 'a', 'quick', 'brown fox', 'jumped', 'over the lazy', 'dog' ]

However that splits into individual words. If you look carefully at the
example, the quoted strings "brown fox" and "over the lazy" need to end up
in a *single* array element in the result.

Regards,

Brian.
