Ah, right.  I tried nested functions in GCC, which have the same
problem.

(gdb) b 'bar.18<tab>
bar.1873  bar.1888
(gdb) b 'bar.1888'
Can't find member of namespace, class, struct, or union named "bar.1888"

I believe this is the same as is_quoted.  If I'm right, that implies
that this breaks:

(gdb) break 'foo.c':13

We need to call locate_first_half to separate the filename from the
line number.  There's also the 'foo.c'::staticvar form to worry about.
I think locate_first_half is going to have to know whether is_quoted,
and if so, only look for the matching quote.
