Surely in this case it would have to be the letteral "abu". If the parser 
can't remember which word is any_word_698, then it won't be able to tell
zo a from zo e either, but we can. In fact, the parser can't tell what 
letteral is meant by BY in any case, can it?

It seems to be an ungrammatical wart anyway... But it would be
useful to be able to quote bu-letterals with zo...
