Inconsistency in use of quotes

Schematic Simulation (Ngspice)
1

I just noticed what seems an inconsistent use of quotes:
For a measurement statement in a control section, I have to write:
meas ac bandwidth when vdb(’/out’)=-3
But for making a file with data I have to use double quotes around /out:
wrdata ‘~/inverting/jack.dat’ vdb("/out")

I think this creates unnecessary confusion for the (beginning) user.

kind regards,
Hugo

There is a patch upladed to the ngspice pre-master git branch that enables quoted vector names.
