         M2 : SP* '{' M1 '}' SP*
    
         M3 : SP*
    
          M : M2 | M1 | M3
    
    K1 = V1 : [^{}:"\s]+
    
    K2 = V2 : '"' [^"]+ '"'
    
    K3 = V3 : """ .*? """

    Parser

    The parser will emit events for KV.

    Command line interface

    Usage:
      kv INPUT <<EOF
    A
    B B1
    C C1 C2
    EOF
    
    Will output concatenated values of INPUT for keys A, B.B1 and C.C1.C2.
    
      kv -quote < INPUT
    
    Will quote INPUT according to (K1 | K2 | K3 | K4) whichever is best.
