> Besides having this feature in place being nice in general, it will help avoid confusions in some cases and will make determining the problem with the parsed command line easier.
> Examples of special characters in argument values are: {, [, =. Each of these is a legal character in a value by itself. But the CLI reacts to them differently:
> { is a beginning of a DMR OBJECT value;
> [ is beginning of a DMR LIST value;
> = is a name value separator.
> The same for the corresponding closing } and ].
> At the moment the CLI parsing is not smart enough and requires escaping {, }, [, ] and = if they have to be a part of the value.
> This feature request is to make the parsing a bit smarter by taking into account the context where these characters appear and require escaping them in places where they obviously don't have the special meaning.
> E.g. { and [ are significant from the parsing point of few if they appear at the very beginning, i.e. before the parameter value, not in the middle.
