I made a quick and dirty change to lex.l and this

dbpmda> store hotproc.control.config 'uname == "root"'

seems to parse OK.

No backslash escaping, but string delimiters are " or '
Would that suffice?

Of course this also works, but might confuse the PMDA

dbpmda> store hotproc.control.config "uname == 'root'"
