I have the following line somewhere in my source.
class database(RECORD) {
  //RECORD[] list;
  record!("name", char[])[] list;
}

Now, if I switch unittests on, gdc (0.23, MinGW 4.1.2) emits the following code:
	.stabs	"record!("name",char[]) []:Tt(1,30)=s8length:(1,7),0,32;ptr:(1,31)=*(1,32)=xsrecord:,32,32;;",128,0,55,0
Note the "outer" '"'s and the "inner" '"'s.
Unsurprisingly, the assembler barfs on this.

Also seems to happen in debug mode. Basically, anything that makes gdc emit the stabs entry.

Manually escaping the inside ""s in the .s file (.stabs	"record!(\"name\" ... ") seems to make it work; maybe we should do that.
