[tpm] I wish I was better at regex's

[Tom Legrady]

I would do it using a capturing split() on /([#"])/, which splits

Before the string "Inside the string" # comment

into
[ 'Before the string',
  '"',
  'Inside the string',
  '"',
  '#',
  'comment',
]

Before entering the array, you are obviously not in a string, not in a
comment ... as you process elements, you find where you are. If you want to
detect more 'separator characters', they're simple to add, and simple to
handle depending on whether you are in a string, comment or other/
