I was hoping we could get away with this change.  It seemed clearly sane
to me, but apparently front-end authors disagree :)

At least one other front-end author has worked around previous bugs by quoting the entire linespec. So it looks like we'll have to maintain bug-for-bug compatibility on this.

For Plan B I think we can treat quotes differently and preserve
compatibility.  I'd rather not do this, but I think compatibility is
more important than cleanliness.

I have pushed a patch to my archer branch which permits quote-encapsulating the linespec. I have also reverted the "invalid" linespec tests.
