You're right.  The code shouldn't *have* to check if the name is valid.  It should just accept that the name is already valid.  This would simplify things.

Here's the problem: the code needs to find the index of where the string with the filename starts.  The way the code does it now by checking for a quote in a rather obfuscated way (while i and curline[i-1] in FILENAME_CHARS + SEPS:).  So, changing that line to say curline[i-1] != "'" or curline[i-1] != '"' would work (in theory) but I'm really hoping there's a better way.
