> Since a Jexl context may be backed by a map that is not under Jexl's control, it may happen that keys in such a map contains spaces (quotes, backquotes).
> Scripting these top-level variables is then not very easy; adding an escaping mechanism in the syntax for top-level identifiers is provably convenient in this case.
> For example:In a script, {code}My\ Variable = 3{code} sets the top level variable keyed with the string "My Variable" with the value 3.
