Hi,

> Its syntax (of the sugary variety).

and if you really want to see how it is implemented have a look at the 
function yylex() in the file parse.c.

You'll find something like:

case 'w':
   lex_strterm = NEW_STRTERM(str_squote | STR_FUNC_QWORDS, term, paren);
   do {c = nextc();} while (ISSPACE(c));
   pushback(c);
   return tQWORDS_BEG;

But I believe you were looking for Logans answer :)
