parse will remove the comma, and the semi... and takes anything within
quotes as a single value.

You make a good point, and as far as I can there is no easy way to do this
without using a "rule". Here is a quick and dirty work-around, in case it
proves useful for a specific problem:
a: {Hello world, "this to" is an example;}
parse/all trim/with a {"} " "
; yields ["Hello" "world," "this" "to" "is" "an" "example;"]
