 This is already what I'm doing :[[BR]]

 {{{
 let parameter_lists_kw           = "env_check" | "env_delete" | "env_keep"
 let parameter_lists_value        = [ label "var" . sto_to_spc_no_dquote ]
 let parameter_lists_value_dquote = [ label "var" . sto_to_spc ]

 let parameter_lists_values = parameter_lists_value_dquote
                            | ( sep_dquote . parameter_lists_value
                                . ( sep_cont . parameter_lists_value )+
                                . sep_dquote )

 let parameter_lists_sep    = sep_cont_opt
                              . ( [ del "+" "+" . label "append" ]
                                | [ del "-" "-" . label "remove" ] )?
                              . del "=" "=" . sep_cont_opt

 let parameter_lists        = [ ( parameter_negate . key parameter_lists_kw
 )
                              | ( key parameter_lists_kw
                                . parameter_lists_sep
                                . parameter_lists_values ) ]
 }}}

 You can see in parameter_lists_values that it's a union of two lenses: one
 that deals with a single value, and the other which deals with more than
 one. The problem is with the single value one, because I parse the double
 quotes on each side of the value as being part of the value itself, since
 it is not mandatory but has to be symmetric (there can't be a double quote
 only on one side of the value).

 something like

 >   let l1 = [ del /"?/ "" . var . del /"?/ "" ]


 This is my second option in comment #3. The possible issue with it is that
 Augeas won't find it a problem if it finds a double quote only on one side
 of the value, like '\"TEST' or 'TEST\"', which is syntactically wrong.
