Summary

0011010: Translate strings and comments to blank characters before checks

Description

There are many instances where a buffer search either:
1) does not check to see if the find was in a quoted string (but should)
or
2) does check with a large overhead (order # quoted strings squared)

This leads to bugs and inefficient code.

Currently comments are removed from the buffer before processing, a similar strategy should apply to strings.

However, instead of removing comments and strings, comment and string characters should be replaced with something like SPACE or '_' or something like that.

That way we can simplify by not having to contend with mapping buffer position between Buffer and BufferNoComments.
