I'm not sure I understand what the problem was, but it seems like it
should be fixable without resorting to quoting quotes.

Do you mean that if you literally type ( with the quotes ) "mkpart ",
then the space between the mkpart and end quote is considered an empty
string because it is somewhere within quotes?  It doesn't seem like it
should be too hard to only consider quotes with nothing between them to
be an empty string.
