__FB_QUOTE__

Intrinsic define (macro) performed by the compiler.

Syntax
   __FB_QUOTE__( arg )

Parameters
   arg
      argument

Description
   Converts the argument to a string, similar to stringize operator (#) but 
   can be used anywhere (will expand the argument before conversion).
   More precisely, __FB_QUOTE__ returns an over-quoted text (prefixed with 
   the Operator $ (Non-Escaped String Literal)) compared to the one passed 
   through the argument (the argument may already be a string, and so the 
   return will be an over-quoted string in this case).

Example
   #macro m( arg )
      Scope
         Dim s1 As String = #arg
         Print s1
         Dim s2 As String = __FB_QUOTE__( arg )
         Print s2
      End Scope
   #endmacro

   m(Hello)
   Print
   m("Hello")

   Sleep

   /' Output:
   Hello
   Hello

   "Hello"
   "Hello"
   '/
      

   #macro m( arg1, arg2 )
      Scope
         'Dim s0 As String = #arg1##arg2  ' does not work because arg1##arg2 is not developped before applying #
         Dim s1 As String = #arg1###arg2  ' workaround because #arg => $"arg" and not only "arg"
                                  '    (otherwise the result would be "arg1""arg2" => "arg1"arg2")
         Print s1
         Dim s2 As String = __FB_QUOTE__( arg1##arg2 )
         Print s2
      End Scope
   #endmacro

   m(Free, BASIC)

   Sleep

   /' Output:
   FreeBASIC
   FreeBASIC
   '/
