For example, the first 3 of these queries are processed incorrectly:

cli> add 1 2 "3
1 + 2 + 3 = 6
cli> add 1 2 '3
1 + 2 + 3 = 6
cli> add 1 2 '''3
1 + 2 + 3 = 6
cli> add 1 2 1'''3
wrong command: add 1 2 1'''3
cli>

Yes, currently it treats an unclosed quoted string as closed at the end of the line. Actually, it can be considered a feature. The alternative would be outputting a "wrong command" error, but I don't think it would be really a better behavior.
