options: change [...] to balanced quotes
Useful for dealing with libavfilter's terrible graph syntax.
Not strictly backwards compatible (for example "[a[b]" fails now - the
"[" within the quote is interpreted now). But hopefully it's obscure
enough not to warrant any kind of compatibility hacks.

The ``[...]`` from of quotes wraps everything between ``[`` and ``]``. It's useful with shells that don't interpret these characters in the middle of -an argument (like bash). +an argument (like bash). These quotes are balanced (since mpv 0.9.0): the ``[`` +and ``]`` nest, and the quote terminates on the last ``]`` that has no matching +``[`` within the string. (For example, ``[a[b]c]`` results in ``a[b]c``.) The fixed-length quoting syntax is intended for use with external scripts and programs. |
