Utility for parsing macro "content" and splitting them into arguments.

The content is split along commas, unless they are escaped with a backquote (like this: ,).

Example usage:

>>> parse_args('')
([], {})
>>> parse_args('Some text')
(['Some text'], {})
>>> parse_args('Some text, mode= 3, some other arg,円 with a comma.')
(['Some text', ' some other arg, with a comma.'], {'mode': ' 3'})
>>> parse_args('milestone=milestone1,status!=closed', strict=False)
([], {'status!': 'closed', 'milestone': 'milestone1'})

Parameters:

• args - macros arguments, as plain text
• strict - if True, only Python-like identifiers will be recognized as keyword arguments
