Maybe you'd like to post a regular expression to skip all kinds of
strings (and comments, ...)? 

Such a regexp wouldn't really help, though. How are you going to
handle strings meant to be fed to `eval' or `exec'? I happen to use
`eval' quite a bit, and I'm sure that there are some strings
around somewhere in my applications which contain linenoise
bit-operators :-(
