Yes, using something like Pythons one, two or three quotes is an option. It means that quotes can be nested, while also allowing different kinds of quotes.

I think I'll wait for a while and see if the screams for more quoting options die out. I'd rater keep the language small. Also, I'm kind of lazy.
