So any actual comments on what I did in the commit I linked originally
in the first email?

>Still keep proposing mandatory quotes for strings :D completely backward
compatible.

Well yea....my generator class does that all the time. Unless you
define a symbol explicitly, all strings are always quoted.

Well yea, I am aware of the particular behaviors it has, I've gone
through what kicad does before I came rage posting.

I already have those overloads :P

roughly
SEXPR_LIST << 10 << "string thing" << OUTPUT_SYMBOL("symbol") << 4.0;
