Why is this necessary? fedora-19 also have the aformentioned "--class
red, --class gnu" yet is parsed happily.

A menuentry from RHEL 7 looks like this...

menuentry 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux Everything, with Linux 
0-rescue-af34f0b8cf364cdbbe6d093f8228a37f' --class red --class gnu-linux 
--class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 
'gnulinux-0-rescue-af34f0b8cf364cdbbe6d093f8228a37f-advanced-d23b8b49-4cfe-4900-8ef1-ec80bc633163'

So we need 'lazy' match with '.*?'.

".*" already matches zero or more characters, so I'm not sure what ".*?"
means in addition to that, do you have a reference?

Thanks, pure punctuation is a bit tricky to for a search engine...

Perhaps ["\']([^"\']*)["\'] is more accurate (i.e. disallow quotes in
the name itself, although you might have to split into handling " and '
separately to be more correct

Any thoughts on this?

I went for ["\']([^"\']*)["\'] in a patch I added to Fedora pygrub in May last year. That seems to work fine for recent Fedora versions which will be somewhat similar to RHEL 7.
