if i understand what you're asking, it's not meaningful here

this only affects the syntax used to define specs, basically changing it
from <char>:<string> to [<quote>]<char>:<string>, where the optional
<quote> is either % or %%. <char> can only be a single ascii char and it
was already illegal for it to be %
