- It's not a bug. This is the way lists work, and happens exactly the same
- if you use other list operators. For example,
-
- set x "a \"b\" c"
- lindex $x 1
- b

- I don't know what you're trying to do, so I can't really tell you how
- you should go about doing it, but if you'll drop me some mail, I'll
- have a look at it.
