    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The problem is reproducible with this example:
> set blub=blob
> echo $blub
blob
> echo "${blub}"
blob
> echo "$blub"
>
=> fails, the closing quote is ignored
> echo "$blub""
blob
=> works as workaround

The real trouble starts with strings containing spaces. But it can be fixed,
as shown, by adding another quote at the end or using ${...}.

This was tested with beta~4.
