Perhaps also trim leading and trailing whitespace before checking for quotes?

What about single quotes? The spec allows single quotes:
"Variable assignment values must be enclosed in double or single quotes if they
include spaces, semicolons or other special characters outside of A-Z, a-z, 0-9"

As I understand it backslashes used for escaping should be stripped so
that e.g. \$ becomes $ and \\ becomes \.

I'd suggest if we're going to go through the trouble of parsing quotes and
escapes it should be done properly. Alternatively we could just always use
the string verbatim.
