It would be really useful to support nested and escaped ouble quotes in PROGRAM and RUN directives. For example:

PROGRAM!="/usr/bin/sh -c '/usr/sbin/smartctl -l scterc /dev/$parent | grep -q \"not supported\" && exit 0 || exit 1'", 

Is pretty much impossible to enact without this support. Nesting single quotes and escaping (i.e. '\''not supported'\'') doesn't work in this circumstance.
