It would be easy. The "unquote" would be trickier, because it
can not rely on the fact, that the cookie value was quoted.

Otherwise, one could implement quoting/unquoting transparently
(the best solution from a user point of view).

Would this really help you?

Where would you use this "id_quote"?
The only useful place might be the action of an object creation
or renaming.
However, I am not sure, that I would prefer to get a strangely
encoded id rather than an exception that tells me some characters
are not allowed in Id's.
