This doesn't seem like an appropriate addition to bash, in my opinion. Where do you draw the line? Should bash also parse XML? Windows .INI files? Comma-separated-value text files with quotes around elements that contain commas? Apache-style log files with quotes around fields that contain spaces? In my opinion, all of those things are inappropriate to add to bash.
