Keith is working on this.  He's replacing the current distributed, ad
hoc lexing code in linespec.c with something more centralized and
uniform.  This should let us more easily add new kinds of linespecs,
like "FILE:FUNCTION:LINE" or "OBJFILE:FILE:FUNCTION" without making all
the code even more horrible.

I don't have insight into the specific case of different quoting styles.

You can see Keith's work-in-progress on archer-keiths-linespec-parser.
