[VFP] RELEASE ALL LIKE does not support quotes form

[cpyrgas]

In VFP, it's possible to use RELEASE ALL LIKE in two forms:

1. RELEASE ALL LIKE c*
2. RELEASE ALL LIKE "c*"

In X#, only the 1st form is supported. The 2nd form does not throw a compile or run time error, but does not release memvars:

FUNCTION Start() AS VOID
ccc := 123
? ccc // prints 123
RELEASE ALL LIKE "c*"
? ccc // prints 123, should be a runtime error
RELEASE ALL LIKE c*
? ccc // runtime error as expected

I'm a little puzzled, because the .ppo file shows the command preprocessed as

_MRelease( ""c*"", TRUE )

but the compiler is happy with it...

This is because the ppo file is not really the same as the source that gets sent to the compiler.
The compiler receives a string token with embedded double quotes. When generating the ppo file the string token gets written with double quote string delimiters.

I think we should leave the UDC as is and inside the _MRelease function in the runtime detect that the parameter starts with and ends with a double quote and remove these

Sounds good, I will do that

Should be working well now

Fixed. I found a small issue in the compiler when testing this.
