79	@words[] give wrong results if first word is quoted	Anton Monroe	Gregg Young	"@word and @words are smart enough to recognize a quoted string as one word, but @words gets seriously confused if the first word is quoted. For instance, it says that
      ""one"" two three four five six
has 5 words. But it is stranger than that. Capitalization changes the word count--
      ""ONE"" two three four five six
has 1 word.
      ""One"" two three four five six
has 3 words.
I can't imagine how that is possible, but it is what I see.

A workaround is to explicitly set the word separator, as in 
      @words["" "",%string]
@word does not show the problem. It parses the string correctly in all cases.

Attached is a batchfile that should demonstrate it.

I get the same results from 4OS2 versions 3.09 and 3.11."	defect	closed	minor		Functions	3.09	fixed
