Would someone like to summarize the various alternatives now being considered for quotation in format strings?
Perhaps best illustrated with examples. Here's what's implemented in master now (either works): (format "‘add-to-list’ can't use var ‘%s’; use ‘push’ or ‘cl-pushnew’" sym)(format "%q can't use var %qs; use %qs or %qs" "add-to-list" sym "push" "cl-pushnew")
Digraphs were proposed, but not implemented:(format "%<add-to-list%> can't use var %<%s%>; use %<push%> or %<cl-pushnew%>" sym)
There are lots of other possibilities of course, but these have been the main ones considered so far.
