A simple parser intended to parse sequences of name/value pairs. Parameter values are exptected to be enclosed in quotes if they contain unsafe characters, such as '=' characters or separators. Parameter values are optional and can be omitted.

param1 = value; param2 = "anything goes; really"; param3
