Ah, nice catch! I've updated the patch to handle that case as well. I've
tested it as well as I could and it seems good to me, but in order to
fix that case, I had to mess with the regexes a bit, so It's possible I
might have missed a few cases.

    *[j@laythe emacs]$ echo one two three
    ("one" "two" "three")
    *[j@laythe emacs]$ ^one two^five six^ seven eight
    *[j@laythe emacs]$ echo five six three seven eight
    ("five" "six" "three" "seven" "eight")
    *[j@laythe emacs]$ 

Thanks,
