[MC-84784] Error using ! in a name

I had named an ArmorStand TIM! and when trying to tp only TIM! using the command

/tp @e[name=TIM!] ~ ~ ~

every entity, including the player, was moved.
When used on just regular TIM only the TIM named entities were moved.

! breaks those commands because when using name=! is only targets entity's who don't have that name, any name using ! will break your command, and mojang won't fix it

All they would need to do is allow players to use "" after the = when using name= or team= that way we can use name=!"TIM!" or team=!"MY TEAM NAME!"
