Bummer 😢.
If the arguments were comma separated instead of space, single-quoted strings could then be used as arguments. If something like the following were used:

var r = new RegExp('^\\s*(\\S*)\\s*(\\S*)\\s*(.*)$');
function createMessage(line) {
  var matches = r.exec(line);
  if (!matches) {
    console.error('ERROR - something went pear-shaped');
    return;
  }

  return {
    path: evalArg(matches[1]),
    typetag: evalArg(matches[2]) || '',
    params: evalArg('[' + matches[3] + ']')
  };
}

That would then let me send something like this:

> /track1/oscillator1/coarse_tune#<INFO s 'oscillator pitch in semitones'

The regexp stuff above would still have the restriction that for the trick javascript-expression-generating address / typeTag could not contain a space, but I don't think that is a big deal right?

If comma separating args, single quoted strings and the continued space-less trick syntax is, I could clean this up and submit as a PR.
