If we're sure that quotes will be paired, a more advanced search 
function (or a longer regexp) could skip over the inner pairs as well.

However, note that the above example is simply missing a ' after the 
closing paren.

There's no hurry, but even if you used real curlies, where would be 
contexts when they could be nested as well, and the related code, 
ideally, would be able to handle it.
