Always quote keys which start with a quote #15

george-hopkins commented 4 years ago

Keys which begin with a quote need to be escaped because a value (e.g. x': y) might form a correctly quoted key if the text is read again. Alternatively, one could output the inline value on a separate line. However, I haven't found any case in which quoting does any harm and would reduce the set of allowed keys.

Good catch. Thanks George.
