If you change fstab(5) to accept "quoted arguments", then you
would have to change getfsent() so that it can properly parse an
/etc/fstab with quoted arguments.  Then you would have to verify that
clients of getfsent() such as mount(8) and quotacheck(8) still worked.

If you could get that to work, that would be quite nice.
