Wow guys... that's not intuitive behavior, is it? :) I would have assumed everything within the quotes to be string LITERAL! Thanks for the catch Joel, and for expanding on it, Jim!

By the way, just for clarification we're talking about "ampersands" not asterisks, but I believe showing the characters within parens as you did probably kept most people from getting confused.
