[slang-users] Convert string into function qualifiers?

["J.B. Nicholson-Owens" <jbn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using S-Lang version 2.1 or later (where qualifiers were introduced) 
and I'm reading S-Lang function argument qualifiers from a file. 
Therefore, I've got the qualifiers as a string.

I'd like to pass this string on to a function as a set of qualifiers 
doing something like the following:

   variable my_qualifiers = "s,q=\"<10\",k";
   foobar (23; my_qualifiers);

Any suggestions on how I'd do that?

Thanks.
