Yes, which is my most use case.  An odd-ball unblanced () is still
workable using the components, adding parenthesis to balance and
adjusting the count for consumption:

.( Use this when () are balanced )
@( Use this when "foo(" left () unblanced)) 1- type

For me the other issue was non-graphic characters.  Unable to avoid it
I adopted a simplified form of 200x escapes whereby " becomes \22 .
 

That's another topic. Could be handled by enhanced comment but perhaps
better delt with by other means.
