Ok, so what I think(?) needs to happen is the FIXME: tag needs to be
handled. We need to code a version of src/backend/parser/scansup.c
that doesn't use palloc, and also strips the apostrophes from the
front and end of the string? This doesn't look that hard. Do I have
"permission" to play with it, and submit a patch when I've got it
fixed?

I ass/u/me we want to allow any of the 'C' escapes? or just
a-zA-Z0-9-. for a GUC_STRING?
