Re: [HTCondor-users] Extra quotes in ClassAd attribute name

	As per the manual --

https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/classads/classad-mechanism.html#attributes

-- the bug is that HTCondor isn't rejecting ClassAd attribute names with a 
'+' in them out of hand.

> If it is desired, are there other characters causing the quoting?

	Presumably anything that's not an alphabetic character (in the 
ASCII sense, I presume), a digit, or an underscore.  '+' is probably 
particularly bad because it would clearly cause an ambiguous parse in an 
expression (is it adding two attributes or a single attribute reference?).
