Double-click to select on quoted string

Hi Opera, would be nice if you could implement a simple but very useful way of selecting a string on the string that is surrounded by single or double quotes.

Here's the validation rules:
1-if user double-click on a quote or double quotes char, the string between the quotes is selected
2-a maximum length of 100 char is search for the end-quote
3-only the quote is selected (as working now) if no end-quote found
4-up to you if you want to select or omit the quotes in the selected string

Here's a few examples:
"this is an example"
'here's another'
"thanks in advance!!"

Just because you requested the feature, doesn't mean that it will be implemented.

Keep in mind, your second example won't work. They would find the apostrophe and stop there. So when you ask how hard can it be - you already proved that.
