 Hello,

 I would like to manage with Augeas a /etc/modprobe.d/foo.conf file that
 contains an entry similar to:

 {{{
 options name attr1="val" attr2="val2 val3"
 }}}


 I use Augeas 0.7.0 on a CentOS 5 system and I get following parse error
 with the above file:


 {{{
 # augtool
 augtool> print /augeas//error
 /augeas/files/etc/modprobe.d/foo.conf/error = "parse_failed"
 /augeas/files/etc/modprobe.d/foo.conf/error/pos = "0"
 /augeas/files/etc/modprobe.d/foo.conf/error/line = "1"
 /augeas/files/etc/modprobe.d/foo.conf/error/char = "0"
 /augeas/files/etc/modprobe.d/foo.conf/error/lens =
 "/usr/share/augeas/lenses/dist/modprobe.aug:43.10-.32:"
 /augeas/files/etc/modprobe.d/foo.conf/error/message = "Iterated lens
 matched less than it should"
 }}}

 After a quick look at the modprobe lens, it seems that quotes are not
 managed and whitespaces are only considered as separators: they cannot be
 part of an attribute value.

 It would be nice to add quote management to the lens to be able to use
 whitespaces in attribute values :)

 Regards,
 Xavier
