Description
I have created a macro to quickly make quotations which should like this:

If I put the quote argument in quotation marks it looks like this (the quotation marks are shown):
```
{{quote "All models are wrong, but some are useful", George Box}}
```

But if I remove them, then it (of course) can't tell where the quote ends:
```
{{quote All models are wrong, but some are useful, George Box}}
```

It would be nice if the quotation marks could be removed. Is there a canonical way to do this?

Research direction
Start by locating mldoc's macro argument parsing and reproduce the reported {{quote ...}} examples, especially the comma-containing quotation. The work is done when a quote containing commas can be passed without visible quotation marks while the author argument remains separate and existing macro behavior is preserved.
