From: Jeff King We provide a function for dequoting an entire string, as well as one for handling a space-separated list of quoted strings. But there's no way for a caller to parse a string like 'foo'='bar', even though it is easy to generate one using sq_quote_buf() or similar. Let's make the single-step function available to callers outside of quote.c. Note that we do need to adjust its implementation slightly: it insists on seeing whitespace between items, and we'd like to be more flexible than that. Since it only has a single caller, we can move that check (and slurping up any extra whitespace) into that caller.
