For bonus points, try to construct a value qemu config file that contains a quoted value. It's pretty clear (from looking at the code also) that this is not possible.

Also:

- maximum value length is hard-coded in the parser at 1023 characters (for no apparent reason)

- the format is undocumented

- don't use sscanf for parsing!
