Failed to find this in the archives, but somebody must have tripped across the problem of linux users with names that are policy compiler keywords, e.g. Mr allow cannot be handled by:

  user allow roles { staff_r };

rbac:108:ERROR 'syntax error' at token 'allow' on line 56248:

Same for Mr source and Ms. target, etc., all "ok" identifiers. I am not trying to be perverse--somebody else picked several names that will not parse.

And the correct way to quote them is.... ?
