Surely there is a typo at the end of the line?!

I don't think so, but I'll leave that decision to the experts. However, 
the logic behind detecting literals could perhaps be documented in more 
detail. The file name should be quoted. Same with literals containing 
space characters in some constructs, such as ‘date()’.
