Off the top of my head, how about
foo = "something;something else;and another" separator ;
or similar? The disadvantage is that it looks a bit ugly (you have to
look at the end to see what the separator is). The advantage is that it
ought to be completely backward compatible since presumably nothing has
ever looked passed the final quote before.
