thanks, I'm happy to confirm it works as you suggested. I think I missed
or misread the man page where it says that, there are indeed example a
bit below but the "or" in the description didn't hint that strongly
toward nested quoting.
"
The instance name may be quoted with single (â) or double (") quotes for
those cases where the instance name contains white space or commas.
"
