But that's not quite what I'm looking at here.

 put quote & "Abc" & quote & 45 & quote & "123(def)"  & quote into tTest


gives the type of string I'm looking at.  That is, 123(def) is surrounded
by quotes *in the string* being fed to value, and therefore should be
treated as a literal, shouldn't it?
