Looks like it's going to need a full rewrite of that function to 
implement escaping.
Is the supported syntax described anywhere? hid_parse_actions is able to 
parse multiple invocations with parameters, but an invocation without 
parameters must be the last one; empty parentheses supply a single, 
empty parameter (instead of no parameters like an invocation without 
parentheses does) etc. I'd rather do the reimplementation based on a 
syntax definition than trying to mimic the old function as much as 
possible.
