dealing with nested sentences

I’m evaluating compromise for building a scripting/narration engine for a project. I’m trying to build a command to make a character say something, and the quotes within a single sentence are giving me problems. For example:

const input = `The girl says "Hey! gimme the meatballs!".`
const sentences = nlp(input).json().map(o=> o.text)
console.log('sentences:', sentences)     // prints   ['The girl says "Hey!', 'gimme the meatballs!".']

I was expecting this to be one sentence. Any recommendations on how to deal with these types of input? My plan was to split the entire input text up into sentences and then run a small set of matches against each sentence like nlp(sentence).match('#Noun? says "[.]") but this won’t work if a sentence with quotes is getting split out.

Confirmed, seems to work for a variety of cases I’ve tried.

Thanks again for this feature, it’s freakin’ sweet!
