Mike,
Since when can param and value be interpreted as an array of string?
According to the spec a string begins and ends with a double quote
("), so the only way I see those two words being a string array is
if you did "param" "value". Am I missing something?

Fangyi-
It looks like this one's been sitting out there for a day or so, so I'll
offer an answer.
The answer depends partially on whether or not "param_value" contains
white space. If it does not, then either form should work equally well
in the parameter string, and the parser in the model should support
either form without complaint since both forms are fully compliant with
the published syntax. The parser we published in 2007 does, so I don't
see any excuse for failing to provide this functionality.
If "param_value" is actually "param value", then (param_name "param
value") will work, but (param_name param value) will be mistakenly
interpreted as an array of strings.
