both csoundUnquote and globals->Unquote -- see earlier email.

We can't have a multiply instantiable Csound unless all Csound functions are
function pointer members of a single GLOBALS structure - in other words,
unless Csound is a single C class.

In other words, although it would POSSIBLE to declare some of these
functions in one header for hosts, and other functions in another header for
plugins, I think it will be much less confusing if they are all declared in
one header because, after all, it is really one class. We just need to
document the header clearly.
