Nack, I would not like to support this unclear value in bootconfig file.
It is OK to *detect* this kind of mixing value as a wrong value, but to
support this, we should support escaped quotes and force user to quote the
string.

message = 'He said "it\'s fine"'

But is there any actual usage for supporting this syntax? I would like to
keep the bootconfig as simple as possible.
