Yes it does, because on a NGT we are not concerned with your specific 
probelem that includes untold info, like "the string in x never has any 
whitespace, but I did not say so".

The responses are to the group and are used by others, so quoting of 
unknown strings should always be quoted in html, and even then the same 
quote is not allowed to be in such string.

Quite. That's why I set it as an example.

As I said the "anonimous function has to be compiled to be called"
