That requires a more complex algorithm. The more complex it is, the bigger the 
chances of introducing a mistake and then skewing the test result.

I had been thinking of doing the quotes anyway because the output becomes then 
something you can copy back into your test sources as valid C++ code (C++11 
with unicode strings for QString).
