 *
 * Remarks
 * Type BUF_TYPE_STRING is always implicitly added to the list of wanted

 *
 * A string may be double-quoted. In this case the quotes are not supplied
 * to the caller as part of the data. Double-quoting ensures that a string
 * will not be converted to any other type. Within double quotes, a double
 * qoute and a backslash are escaped by a backslash, and a final unescaped
 * double quote is impilcitly added if EOF is reached when scanning for a
 * closing quote.
 *
 * A "*" or a "#" not within a quoted expression begins a comment that
 * extends to the end of the line.
 *
 * When called p_fb has data from the last get or it is the first call.

 * Return Codes
 * +1: EOF
