   In the above example, a blank occurs before the first quote, after
the first quote, and before the last quote.  I think that the dfa
syntax highlighting will not work if two or more regular expressions
apply to a given set of characters.  In the above example, this occurs
for first occurance of ' "' and for the first occurance of '" '.
Since both rules apply to the same '"' character, both rules get
rejected. Since I did not write the dfa syntax highlighting code, I do
not know if this decision is by design.  But clearly there is an
ambiguity in this case.
